Wanted rigging tensioner tool

[David Hunter]

Does anyone want to sell a rigging tensioner tool that will fit 10mm rigging ?

Any tips on how to make your own diy kit also equally welcome !

thanks

Dave

Hi David,

Take a look at the Selden website and download their Hints and Advice document. It describes the folding rule method which is more accurate than most gauges. I find it easier to use a 1 m. piece of 10 mm dowel than a folding rule, because it doesn't fold. You will need a vernier gauge for this.

They also include good advice for setting up many different rig designs, but offer no guidance on mast rake.

Peter.
