[C320-list] Backstay Tension

[Bruce Heyman]

Larry,
We have a back stay adjustor so I may not be the best person to give you
advice.  We did just tune our boat and then had it retuned at the 2006
Regatta as part of the technical program.  They handed out a couple of
sheets that said how to tune up the boat, unfortunately I can't find it on
our web site, maybe someone else knows where it is.  There is a good
description at:

uning#comments that is worth a read.
Best,
Bruce

For those of you out there without a backstay adjuster, how much tension to
you put on your backstays?  What keys do you look for to know you have the
tension set where you want it?
