[Rhodes22-list] shroud tension

[Jack Goldberg]

This list has been helpful in the past, so I'll come to the trough of 
knowledge to feed again.
I noted with interest the thread about the mast plate bolts coming loose and 
the response with regard to the tension of the shrouds. My 84' has a 
standard main. When I bought the boat this spring, the shrouds were very 
loose (obout 3 inches of play from side to side at about 3 feet from the 
deck. The guy I bought the boat from said that was OK, but now I'm worried.
Is there a spec' on how tight (or loose) the shrouds should be under no 
load?

Jack Goldberg,
