Mike, Al gauges shown are for wire rigging. Frers 33 has ROD rigging.

Hi=20
I noticed on the tuning guide the numbers reported were the gauge reading=
s=20
rather than the translated numbers in pounds. I have also noted that Loo=
s=20
makes several models of these tension gauges and each would likely give=
a=20
different number.=20
Would it be possible to replay with not only the numbers you use for=20
uppers, lowers, intermediates and forestay as the tension gauge numbers=
but if=20
possible also the translated pounds value and the model of your tension=
=20
gauge? If anyone knows the diameter of rod used in each that would be ni=
ce as=20
well because if it differs from boat to boat it would affect the readings=
=20
as well. Our former J boat rig tuning guide was ion pounds =E2=80=A6.=
=20
Thanks =20
