Vega's Rig Tuning specs.

[adamtait2002]

Hi all

Does anybody know Albin Marine's recommended tension for the Vega's rig?
I am looking for info. in kgs/lbs of tension rather than tuning the rig as a
% of the breaking strength of the wire... seems emminently more sensible.

I have always done this touchy-feely-style, but I seem to be developing a bit of
hotrodder's mentality... not sure if this is a good or bad thing

thanks,

Adam,

IIRC, the manual says to set the rig up "Hard", though I tune myn on the "Loose" side on the advice of my friend the rigger. I suppose someone can give you a measurable tension setting but the "Thouchy-feely" method seems to work fine and there seems to be quite a range of acceptable tension on the rig.
