David,
It depends on if you have swept spreaders. To my knowledge C&C didn't
sweep the spreaders. Hunters OTOH are known for their swept spreaders.
Swept spreaders pull the mast aft and create head stay tension. Without
swept spreaders the backstay is about all there is. Some boats have

Hi Dennis- I realize that you would generally tighten the forestay with the
backstay as the wind increases. However, that assumes some starting point of
how much sag there is with no backstay tension and it is that starting point
that I am unsure how to set. I am presuming that there can be suc

Simple question. Complex answer.
Look at the shape of the headsail. Notably, the amount of sag in the
luff.
Forestay tension is primarily regulated by backstay tension. There is no
good guide for pounds of force. Your headsail design and age, choice of
sail (#1, #2, #3), rig tune, wind streng
Speaking of forestay, what is the proper way to determine the correct forestay
tension?Dave

Robert,
I think the only things missing from your setup numbers are rake and pre-bend.
Our forestay length is also very easy to adjust (not that I do often).

I think you might have learned the hard way about what rig tune means in
that race we had with the K25 when we got whooped big time, especially on

I use two per turnbuckle body. I was trying to find the order - I think it
was two large (C4) and one small (C3) each side for my 35-3.

My rigger buddy and I always use high quality stainless cotter pins. If
they're in a turnbuckle, we bend them 90 degrees in order to wrap the
turnbuckle with rigging tape. If they are at the masthead or where sails
or crew won't get caught on them, we usually only bend them 10-15 degrees.
That's
I don't have a tension gauge, but we do make adjustments on the way out to
races on weekend regattas (not so much on Wednesday's). As you know, I was
struggling with rig tension because of mast step issues last year, so maybe
I won't need to do as much this season.

Tim,
How often do you make adjustments? Do you have a tension gauge for rod
rigging?

I used to use split rings to reduce sail wear. The yard rigger who is pretty
knowledgeable replaced them all when he tuned the rig,
claiming that cotter pins are best.
Don't know if it is truth or historical lore but I have stayed with the pins

A comment was made to me the other day that if an insurance company sees split
rings at the rigs turnbuckles (vs cotter pins) that coverage will be null and
void. I found nothing in my policy stating this detail.
Anyone else ever hear of this?
