Thanks, Rob. I was up there this morning and found the D2s to be even, registering 2-3 on the gauge. That sound about where you said. The uppers (V2) were a bit higher on one side than the other, but that tension is controlled at deck level. And at deck level both sides are even. It may have been my weight causing the issue, and 2 big guys heeling the boat a touch. I'm going to start at 1300 on the outside (uppers) and the same on the lowers and sail around to get it right. It always seemed the leeward shrouds were looser on starboard tack. Not sure why.
Thanks for the help!
