Tensioning intermediate shrouds

[Tom White]

Hello, this is my first post here so here goes

I have a somewhat unusual boat made by Beister in 1974. The hull and superstructure is made from stainless steel. She was completely refitted in 2002 and then a Selden carbon mast added in 2010 with a Solant rig arrangement.

The mast is currently down for winter service (west coast of Scotland). It has double spreaders. In the past I have set up the rigging but on smaller single spreader masts. I have searched the internet but as yet found very little info. on how to set up the intermediate shrouds. It is sometimes mentioned that they should be slack at the initially erecting the mast but nothing further.

Can anyone help with this one?

Many thanks

Tom
