Nice rig to tune, but...
Hello,
The sailplan shows a double spreader fractional rig. It appears to be discontinuous, branching at the lower spreaders. If I understand your terminology, the verticals under the spreaders (V1's) are 5/16" and the other shroud bits all 9/32". Is this right? Is the forestay also 5/16"? Are there check stays and/or running backstays? Is there an adjustable backstay?
So far all I can tell you is that the if you have a discontinuous rig, the V1"s are likely going to be set at around 10 to 12%, the D2's (from lower spreaders to the mast at the upper spreaders) at barely 10%, perhaps less and the V2's (to masthead) and D1's (lower shrouds) negotiable. Check in about configuration, and we'll go from there.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
