Re: Shroud tension
....conflicting "evidence"...
37' aluminium , masthead-rigged keelboat, "reasonably" well tensioned shrouds, discontinuous, 2 in-line spreader rig
guests climbing up from their dingi, grabbing the shrouds.
on one occasion: "wow, that is tight! I wonder that you haven't lost your stick yet! Your boat can stand this much tension?"
others, on another occasion: "...now this is slack! I wonder that you haven't lost your stick yet!"
hmmmm...
