I helped develop the tuning guide but was never able to get more than 2200 =
pounds.

Backstay Tension

The tuning guide shows 3,000 bunds of backstay tension for higher wind spee=
ds.

We are learning the ropes with a new backstay. We can currently add up to 2=
,000 pounds of tension before we run out of backstay adjuster. We can amend=
 this by tightening the lashing further, but 2,000 pounds is something of a=
n effort even with the Sailtec device.

Are others in the fleet routinely using 3,000 pounds?



Shroud Tension

I find that the leward shrouds are go slack upwind in 10-12 knots of wind. =
Is this typical?



Upwind Tracking

With a little thought about the sail trim and the backstay, the boat sails =
upwind with almost no helm effort. It=E2=80=99s great!

We were sailing upwind head to head with a J/120 and he really was not maki=
ng better time. I guess he was doing more things wrong than we were._______=
