[Public-List] Standing rigging tension figures

[Glennb]

Hello all stations,

So what is the optimum design load for rig tension?  I just looked at the rig table and was struck at the wide variability in tension, 200 to 1200 pounds ( I assume PSI, but don't really know as the table had no definition of the numbers that I noticed).  I am sure not going to stretch the rig to resemble a rubber band, but there must be some recommended load ( for cruising the ocean blue)

Thanks' mates!
