How much tension should there be on the cable stays? Thanks

Hello, nice to see that there is someone who is using this section.
1) give me some info about the craft, model and year.
2) I have found specs at different sites and they will explain what the take of the mast should be.
3) I have also found that the down wind side will have less tension while underway.
4) I personally like to have a little bit of tennision on the stays. Not so thought that they sing like a guatar.

Sailboatdata.com usually has a lot of info and sometimes links for further info.

Good Luck

Hi Eric-Fai
I just saw this post that you replied to. I have a C22 I think its 1980 although the plate is very worn.
I am interested in getting tension information for Forestay, back stay and shrouds. If you have any data that may be use ful I would appreciate that.
Thank you
