Guys I am looking for help with tuning my mast.  Any advice is greatly 
appreciated.

I have a C&C 34+ with double spreader mast that has one upper, one intermediate 
and one lower rod shroud.  I borrowed a friends loos gage other day and have 
stb and port set exactly same.  I understand how to look up mast for 
straightness and to go sailing for fine tune . My question is this - what is 
starting ratio for upper - intermediate - lower? If upper is say 2400lbs then 
would lower be 55% or 1300lbs o upper? Would intermediate be slightly less ie 
1100/45% of upper? I'm trying to get the starting point of approximate lbs for 
upper/intermediate/lower in lbs and ratio.

Thanks for any help you all can provide.

Steve
