I have a Loos & Co. stays and shrouds gauge I use to setup an Melges 17 scow.  This is the standard model “A” tension gauge.   It would be a good tool if I could use it on the Weta if there are known design tension specs in lbs. for the port and starboard shrouds.  So far, I’ve used the “just make it tight” guesstimate and the suggested holes in the shroud adjusters.  I would feel more comfortable dealing with real numbers if they are known.
