Here's my question: Are sailboats designed to withstand certain levels of
wind or shroud strength?
If so, they all one needs to do is create those loads - statically or
dynamically, to be assured that your boat is "safe" or not. We have shroud
tension gages. Why not use one, while placing the shroud under the test
load?

I recently had a survey done on my Catalina. The way that the surveyor
determined that the lifelines were good was to put an impulse load on the
lifelines with his body and watching the stanchion to deck connection. Simple,
but effective.
