Use the tension on US17, that boat was perfectly tensioned by the son of the 
owner who was a rigging expert and an accomplished skipper of an Alberg. The 
values are in pounds.

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!
