YO;
It has been our observation that the Loos gauge readings are relative
and not specific, our gauge will not match yours. But if you use my
gauge (or yours) and measure my rig you can use the same gauge to return
to your boat and match settings. We could be wrong in this.
One of those races where we interchange crew members, Chris Doyle from
Skip Doyle's boat Rocking Chair was delegated to our boat...first thing
he did was to loosen the rig and we did well. Wish we had kept those
settings, I think we sail to tight.

Hello all,
We are new owners of Hull#45 "Firefly" and I am interested in hearing
if any one has a set of starting rig tension measurements you could share.
Loos Gauge numbers would be great.
Just replaced the headstay due to wire damage I found under the foil.
(Wanted to avoid burying bad wire under the new roller furling). Now
working on retuning the rig.
All insight and experience sharing welcome!
Respectfully, Karl
