Ever'body,
My computer ate the email that asked about Loos settings, so I'm sending
the whole thing, which ain't such a big deal:
3/16th uppers 640
Aft lowers: 350 (I believe these are 1/8")
Fwd lowers: 350 ( " " " " " " " " " "" " " "")
Forestay
w/backstay adjuster full off 440
w/backstay adjuster full on: 880
backstay itself, full off 3
These settings are median of 5 numbers each published on this site two
years ago, including a tweaking when we found the leward shrouds sagging
a bit at 20 kts.
That last beautiful Friday almost two weeks ago found us in 20 +kts
(whitecaps everewhere, and long windstreaks, so top kts observed was
2t5+). No sag with these settings.
My boat's a 76 standard rig,
