Standing rigging tension V30
Does anyone have recommended values for the standing rigging tension on a V30. My Backstay Forestay and cap shrouds are 7mm my inner shrouds 6mm.

Re: Standing rigging tension V30
Not very scientific, but I read that the standing rigging should be as tight as you can get it with a hand tool, and that is is impossible to over tighten by hand. Not using a long lever of course, just a screwdriver or similar. That's what I do when tuning the rigging. I think its in a slim book I have on rig tuning, I could try to dig it out if you want. The danger is from rigging that is too slack as it allows snatch loads.
