Thank you for the reply , but that is to technical for me . I have only had one sailing lesson , so I do not know much about sailing or rigging . The people at the sail club I joined said the lines have a certain tension and since my boat is a 1975 I do not have any info for how much tension. I would like to set it by a gauge for now.

My process is as follows. > With all stays and shrouds lose, I tension the stays so I have approximately 9 inches rake along the boom using a weight on the main halyard. Forestay first, then backstay to remove slop. I them tension the upper shrouds to hand tight and using the main halyard on the toe rails to align the masthead. I then add two turns to the turnbuckles. Check masthead alignment again. > Once all aligned, I tighten the lowers hand tight. Sight the mast to ensure straight. Add two turns to each lower.

Count and remember the number of turns. Tack boat. Tighten leeward turnbuckle same Number of turns as previous tack. > And I tack back and forth checking and making any final adjustments. You'll want the slop out of the leeward shrouds. > Sounds like a long process but it really isn't. > Is using s Loos gage quicker? Yes but I'm a cheap son of a gun.
