Why Proper Tension Matters

Correct rigging tension improves sail shape, enhances boat handling, and prevents structural damage. A slack rig can lead to excessive mast movement, while overly tight rigging may cause permanent wire stretch or mast damage.

1. Hook the gauge onto the wire.
2. Pull the lanyard to engage the slider.
3. Release and read the tension.
4. Adjust rigging as needed.
