;D Does anyone know what tension the outer and inner shrouds should be on a Sunfast 35?. Someone mentioned 40% of the loading?. When i Look at the leeward shrouds when it is windy I can see that they are v lose - but when on the marina they are tight? All help welcome. Andrew

Hi Andrew
We're in exactly the same situation. My rigger said not to worry IF the mast is straight when they are loose. It's only our inners that are slightly loose though, not the caps.
The way the rig works on the SF35 intermediate shrouds cannot be tightened up too much as it will invert the mast (as happened to another SF35 at our marina when they tightened up preparing for the fastnet.)
