Which Shroud ?

hello all
I have been lately receiving conflicting opinions related to my problem ,
I wonder if I can find a logical yet scientific and convincing answer to my dilemma in here.
while under way in a strong blow, I noticed that the port lower shroud ( lee side ) gets somewhat loose ( this is normal )
when I change tacks the port lower shroud gets under tension while the starboard lower shroud remains tight (slightly less then before)!
my question:
should I tighten the port one to take the slack in it when sailing ??
or should I tighten the starboard lower shroud some more to balance the opposite one ??
thanks for your feedback
Georges
