I just purchased a 1977 C-30. The boat is in great shape, but I can't seem to get enough rig tension. The Uppers are fine. The lower turnbuckles are maxed down and I still have pretty loose shrouds. There has been no buckling of the mast step, (not even crazing in the gelcoat. The only thing I can figure is the furler added length to the forestay and the mast is raked aft. Doesn't apper that way. Is this a common problem? What is the recommended rig tension? Is there a retro turnbuckle available or should I just replace the entire shrouds? Any advice is welcome.ThanksTim
