Chuck:
I can not provide you with specific tension numbers for your 34 rig but
here is something to consider.....I assume your standing rigging is
Navtec rod #8 (I am guessing) which has a breaking strength of 2,000
lbs. Navtec recommends never applying more tension than 25% of the
breaking strength, or 2,000 lbs in this case.
The 32 has one set of 'intermediates'.....they should never be tensioned
more than your shroud(s).....I can't tell you exactly what the tension
is on mine as I had a rigger adjust my 'intermediates'.....he tensioned
them hand tight and then 2 full turns. He did that as he knew I had
1,300 lbs. on the cap (upper) shrouds. I am purely guessing that there
is approx. 500 lbs. on my intermediates.
I use a Loos RT-10 tension gauge as well....find it very helpful as I
can't tell how much tension is on the rig by simply pulling on it.

Hello list gurus,
Armed with my newly acquired Loos RT-10 and a decent bosun's chair, I
plan to enlist a few strong friends to hoist me up the mast this
weekend and tune the rig.
Anyone have decent numbers for the C&C 34 shrouds?
And what are we calling the above the spreader pair (upper &
intermediate), lower section of the upper and then lower?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
