Rigging over tight? To loose?

[daletournier]

Im starting to think there is some mystical ability one must have to determine correct rig tension.

The rigger that provided the stays said to do them very tight, they will stretch " the seldon stay tension utube said " as tight as you can without being a gorrilla) and another source said "intuitively tight".

My last boat was stayless, what a concept! And the Dale of todays "do them as tight as you can " is alot different to what the Dale of ten years ago would have done :-)

Im not convinced that there is no overtightened.

Thoughts???
