Standing rigging tension

[kegendron]

Hi:

I just installed new standing rigging and was wondering what the tensioning specs were on a 1979 S2 9.2 A

Thanks

There are none. But there is a good tuning guide in the manual in the knowledgebase.

You state is CO but your home port is Cape Cod? And I thought I had a long ride to go for a sail ;-)

Here's the 'most comprehensive' rig tuning guide available on the internet: http://www.riggingandsails.com/pdf/selden-tuning.pdf

There is a section within this guide of how to precise tune without a rigging gage ... just a 'meter stick' divided into millimeters.
