[Rhodes22-list] Wow this is a boring night

[TN Rhodey]

Capn Z,

Go ahead and open another can of worms about rig tension! :-) Do you have GB 
furler? I don't really understand what adjustments are available for GB 
furler other than back stay adjustment. Perhaps others will help here. I try 
to get back stays about the same tension as uppers. The windier the tighter 
especially going upwind.
