Thanks Dennis, very similar numbers to what my 35 MKII likes; similar rigs I guess. I have tried more tension on the uppers, in fact to 1200 and above as you note and that works fine in 20+ knots apparent wind. Let me also say that if you get head stay tension correct then with about 1000 lbs on the backstay with a 135% headsail she should hold a nearly close hauled course without a hand on the wheel as long as conditions stay somewhat constant, balanced almost perfect which on St. Margaret's Bay can be the whole way across, or about 6 miles. Watch for other boats in your path because she will be moving at 7 or better in 15 apparent
If you dare go forward, lie on your back feet forward and sight up the mast. You should see a nice bend in the mast to leeward maximum at about spreader height...that's what works good, caused by the much lower tension on the forward and aft lowers. Beautiful bow, who said the mast on a 35 was too big to bend...bends nicely to leeward and loves it...fun stuff to play with, get a gauge and have fun Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, *Alianna* Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS d.ve...@bellaliant.net On Wed, May 23, 2018 at 6:49 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > OK, here's the super secret rig tensions for a 35-1.
