Advice fro the 37+ Owner's Manual. The third paragraph applies I think as both wind speed and angle are included:
4.4 Tuning While Sailing Select a day with a steady 8 to 12 knot breeze and reasonably flat sea. Put the boat on starboard tack, close hauled. Sight up the luff groove of the mast. If the mast seems to fall off to leeward at the spreaders, luff up slightly and tighten the starboard lower shroud as necessary. Put the boat back on the wind and check the spar again, adjusting as necessary. When the mast appears straight, bring the boat about and do the same on the port side. Check the following carefully. First, when the upper shrouds are at optimum tension, when at about 15 to 20 degrees of heel, the leeward rigging should look slack. This is quite appropriate and should never be tightened. Ken H.
