Hi Mike,
As I mentioned previously the Frers 33 is equipped with Rod Rigging. The
Loos Gauge required is one that is made and calibrated for Rod Rigging. The
procedure is to measure the rod on the instrument (calibration is on the
side) then hook on the guage and check the rig tension and adjust as
appropriate. The numbers are a lot simpler to keep track of than the
pounds. As far as I know the readings are similar if not identical on all
Rod Rigging Loose gauges. The reason for the variation in tension on
different rigs is probably a reflection of the type of sailing done,
competition and local conditions. Info on the gauge used is available at
http://loosnaples.com/tension-gauges/rod-rigging-gauge.
I believe all Loos Gauges made for rod rigging will give the same readings
if they are used properly.
