Harry, I would take you up on that if you are willing to ship. I would happily pay freight and a rental charge!

Who needs a Loos gauge? I have one to lend Harry Newport, RI Sent from my iPhone 8 beta On May 18, 2017, at 17:11, Josh Muckley via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: I'm sure somebody might be willing to let you borrow one for the cost of shipping...

The statement on the web site only infers that we make both kinds." I guess it is RT series or nothing. I have contacted the store in Newport, we will see if that pans out. Thanks for all the help!

There are ways to tune the rig without but I like the consistency and scientific order to doing it with a tension gauge. My understanding is that you need an RT-10 or RT-11 for rod rigging. The important factor being that rod is naturally more rigid than wire thus the scale is different. After tuning, the boat no longer has a pronounced favoritism for a port tack.

I see prices on those at about $500, which I am having trouble justifying.
