Wooden boats aren't tuned like glass boats. If you
tighten
all those puppies up they will push the mast into the
keel
and start some impressive leaking. Been there done
that...


Haggie, these were very loose. How would you recommend
they be adjusted? I'd welcome your opinion.

Very loose is fine as long as the sticks are straight. Of
course it depends on your deffinition of "very" Mind you,
I wouldn't take an old wooden boat out in extreme weather.
