Rig tuning for swan 47 Hi,
Could somebody point me to a rig tuning guide for the 47? When sailing in 20kn of wind to windwards the leeward wires look a bit slack, specially when I put pressure on the backstay. the mast appears straight, though it is likely bending to the side. I'm trying to figure out the correct tension for the rig and how to set it up properly.

Hi,
Thanks so much, this is helpful. I had a rigger set up the rig, but wanted to check it myself as well. When measuring the rake - is the back stay supposed to be on? or Are we talking mast rake without back stay?

Thank you Matteo!
I will try the measurement next time I'm back at the boat. Beautiful mast base you have there! I whish mine looked like that. Will have to repaint it next time the mast is out!
