[quote=Andinista][quote]Another thing to remember is to make sure the side stays are pinned at the top of the chain plate.
after the forestay is pinned the side stays can be lowered to desired tension. I always go 5 down. I am not that experienced with this but it works well in all conditions I have sailed in. [/quote]
It’s enough to leave one shroud loose, no need to readjust both. With heavier wind the rig needs more tension, but not to the point to considerably restrict mast rotation. The tension you get when you hang on the trapeze is a good reference. I personally adjust it always the same too, but I’m just a recreational sailor, and I prefer to pass on lighter conditions, under 8 kts or so.[/quote]
