Does anybody have numbers for shroud tension on 33-2 using Loos Rt-10?

I use the Loos RT 10 to tension my rig.our rigs are different so
numbers may be irrelevant.without the gauge, I would be guessing and
from experience, that's not a very accurate way to know how much tension
is on the shrouds.
If you have rod rigging, the tension should never exceed 20%

The guage will give a recommended tension for the rod diameter. I
would started with this.
I just started to use the Loos guage last fall

I just started to use the Loos guage last fall so not much experience with the
guage really.

When I was getting started. I asked a similar question and got directed to
the owners manual which roughly states that the leeward shrouds should go
slightly slack when sailing in 15 to 20 kts of wind.
I used the Loos gauge to achieve ~10% of max load for each wire. Since
then I've observed that
