[Public-List] Rig Tension

[Wes Gardner via Public-List]

Hi All,

Here's another one...rig tension.  I do recall seeing a spreadsheet
regarding tensioning the rig on an Alberg. In fact, my boat, by another
name, participated in that drill which is now several (many) years old. It
seemed that it was kind of "all of the board."  Here's my deal - I will
never race my boat but I do come from a racing background so I do
appreciate good sail shape (and will try to achieve it whenever I'm out
there.)  That in mind, is there any newer/further data on setting up a rig?
I do have a roller jib.

Obviously, since I changed out the bolts in my chainplates, I no longer
have the rig tuned.  I am also waiting for my engine to be reinstalled so
I'll wait till after that to put the final turns on the turnbuckles.  I do
have a Loos gauge (somewhere :-)

Anyone have some insight into the current thinking?

Wes
