Mast Tuning

You can get information and a useful video at www.briantoss.com. I bought a Loos gauge (professional) and tuned my shrouds at 10% of ultimate breaking strength for the lowers, 15% for the intermediates and 20% for the uppers. This keeps the mast in column without any slack on the leeward side in a moderate breeze.
