Tension Specs for Beneteau 323 standing rigging

[John Moore]

Anyone know where to find tension specs for Beneteau 323 backstays? I check the manual, no luck.

The manual probably won't say the tension, but it should say the diameter of the wire. There are then standards to determine tension as a percentage of breaking strength for that size wire. (15% is pretty typical)

Thanks! I'll look up the spec for 3/16" Cable
