Default Tuning the Bowsprit and Boomkin

I'm new to the forum and am in the process of learning how to tune the rigging on my BCC 28 and have watched Brion's video on the subject.

I believe I understand the basic concepts involved, but am left wondering if the bowsprit and boomkin require any special considerations, given the nature of their interactions with other aspects of the rigging. General advice on tuning would be appreciated. Should the lengthy bowsprit shrouds be tuned to say 10-12% of load, the bobstay to say 15-20%? Would the same apply to the short shrouds on the boomkin? Thanks.
