Rather hard to answer without knowing your definition of slack. If you mean
swinging in the breeze then yes could be a little to loose. What do you have
with 8 - 10 knts? They sould be "tight" at that wind level according to
everything I have read. What method do You use for tightening your schrouds?
Not being tight enough has been a concern of mine, but I have not had the time
to do the 2 meter measuring approach described by Calder and others.
