Is there a tuning guide for the O'day? My 1979 O'day 27 was just launched and I have raised the mast. I feel the rigging is a bit loose and would like to tune it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Allen O'Hale

gen speaking you tighten the inners and then the outer stays. gen belief is for 10% to 25% of the working strength of the stay size material, adjusting upward on each stay to keep mast straight and centered, till reaching 10% or what ever you wish to use. a LOOS guage will be needed.
