Anyone care to chime in about tuning M-15 side stays? When on tack, the loaded stay of course is tight. Question is... How loose might the unloaded stay be? I've been on some boats where there is very little play and on others, where the stay is just flopping about. The concern to me is... without the mast compression post, should the stays be set at the rated 10% of breaking strength of should they be looser? Thanks, Bill
