Look at the Harken website, under technical info you will find charts of breaking strength for the various rigging types (wire rope, rod, etc).
Also, I like to tune my rig to middle C, maybe D sharp at the highest.. YMMV. -Keith M. 35 mk3 CB Jokester -----Original Message----- From: Kyle Mello [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 15:34 To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Tuning my rig Looking for some advice on tension for my C&C 35 mk1. It is my first year with the boat and would like to tune the rig before I go on an extended trip. The boat is rigged with an adjustable backstay. I have read the link in a C&C resource center and they mention not to over tension the backstay past one quarter of its breaking strength. My question is where do I find the breaking strength? FYI... It is wire braid. Thanks -km _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]
