C&C designs do better to weather when the mast has a bend to leward. I think bend to leward has a significant effect on the slot with consequent effect on smooth airflow over the sails. On Fri, Oct 21, 2022 at 10:20 AM Karl Kuzis via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Thanks for all the i

FWIW, I used a Loos gauge for my rod rigging this past spring to equalize the tension of my upper and lower shrouds. While sailing in a breeze, I noted that the lower shrouds were loose compared to the upper shrouds. Go figure. From: Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2022

For wire rigging I tested my Loos gauge compared to the gauge on my Navtec hydraulic backstay for tension in the backstay. The correlation was very close and indiscernible given the small but calibrated gauge on the Navtec unit. On Thu, Oct 20, 2022 at 10:44 AM Dennis C. via CnC-List < cnc-list@cn
