Breaking strength should be about 9000-10,000. With mast straight side to side.measure with the main halyard to the toe rail; same distance aft on the toe rail on each side, same main halyard length each side or adjust to get that. Tension upper shrouds to about 1000-1100 equal on each side a few turns on one side then same number of turns on the other until you get close to 1000 measure after adjusting with Loos tension gage.check main halyard both sides again.forward lowers to 700 and after lowers to 500. No tension on backstay while doing shroud tensioning. It's a bit more complicated but if you get the rig that close and still straight you should be good to go. Start with the mast raked aft 6 to 12 inches with placement in the mast step.
Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kyle Mello Sent: June 4, 2013 4:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Tuning my rig Looking for some advice on tension for my C&C 35 mk1. It is my first year with the boat and would like to tune the rig before I go on an extended trip. The boat is rigged with an adjustable backstay. I have read the link in a C&C resource center and they mention not to over tension the backstay past one quarter of its breaking strength. My question is where do I find the breaking strength? FYI... It is wire braid. Thanks -km _____ No virus found in this message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 2012.0.2242 / Virus Database: 3184/5882 - Release Date: 06/04/13
