I'm trying to get the correct rig tuning for a furling main on a MK II tall rig. Anyone have a tuning guide for this or can tell me where to get the figures?
I admit I understand little about this. From what I've found on the web, it seems to tension is based on the size of the shroud cables but others say I need the tuning guide so any help would be appreciated.

Have not had much luck getting rigging tension readings as a number, but Charleston Spars sent me the attached.... might help someone..... gives a pretty good idea of whats inside and outside the mast & dimensions.
