BTW, dinghy sailors know how to tune rig tension ourselves. We don't
need a $110/hr consultant to do it for us.


How do you do it? Do you sail on one tack with about a 20knot wind and
check the leeward shrouds and tighten the turnbuckles until there's no
slack.


Well, it's like this "Ellen." You pull on the little white strings that run
through the pulleys until something goes "boing."

What a phony crock of dog feces you are, Neal. And a closet queen.
