Re: Stus-List 33-2 shroud tensions

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

When I was getting started.  I asked a similar question and got directed to
the owners manual which roughly states that the leeward shrouds should go
slightly slack when sailing in 15 to 20 kts of wind.

I used the Loos gauge to achieve ~10% of max load for each wire.  Since
then I've observed that the leeward shrouds do go slightly slack.  That's
where I would start if I were you.

Mike:

The Loos RT 10 gauge can measure the diameter of the rod.

The guage will give a recommended tension for the rod diameter. I 
would started with this.


I just started to use the Loos guage last fall so not much experience 
with the guage really.

Stus-List 33-2 shroud tensions

[robert via CnC-List]

I use the Loos RT 10 to tension my rig.our rigs are different so 
numbers may be irrelevant.without the gauge, I would be guessing and 
from experience, that's not a very accurate way to know how much tension 
is on the shrouds.


If you have rod rigging, the tension should never exceed 20% of the 
breaking strength of the rod.  My uppers are tensioned around 15% , 
lowers around 13% of the rod's breaking strength.
