Did PDQ ever follow through on the promise to provide you with rig tension data?

I am having problems with unequal speed performance when going to weather with
better performance on a stb tack by about 2 kts. My sail maker has asked me to
check rig alignment and tension

Just woundering, have you been able to get your Loos measurements yet. If so
could you please post them or email to me

Thanks, Bob

I had asked about rig tension when we got our 36 two years ago and they said
"just keep it tight". I asked for specifics but I was told again "don't worry
about the numbers just keep it tight"

If you manage to squeeze a more precise answer out of them be sure and post it

Thanks!

I have not heard anything from the factory yet. I have sent them yet another
e-mail on this

When they reply, I'll post it on the board
