Tension on the upper and lower stays
« on: May 16, 2012, 02:47:49 PM »
I am just rigging Blue Spray for the summer and would like to know the tension the upper, lower and back stays  This is the first time for me with this boat, someone at my club  suggest 1000lbs for the upper and 800lbs for the forward lowers and 600lbs for the rear lowers not sure about the rear stay.  Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks
