I can answer 1 of your questions - the boats with the higher tensions well 
all avid racing boats. The Alberg likes the the mast 'in column' and not 
'raked' - forget anout bending the mast on the Alberg.

This month's edition of Good Old Boat has a good article about standing 
rigging tuning. I have been tuning my rigging on many boats for many years, 
never with a tension gauge. I have also re-read the "Survey of A30 Rig 
Tensions" from our Alberg website. I have already re-attached Emotional 
Rescue's chainplates with larger bolts and stronger bulkhead as previously 
recommended. I still have a number of questions.

1. Why the large variation in tensions measured and recorded on the 
Survey?
2. What tension would one use for a 1968 boat, #303. There are none in 
the 300 series.
3. Does anyone know what the mast rake should be? As long as we have only 
enough weather helm does it matter?
If it ain't broke...?
