I agree with you the shroud seems loose. However pleae believe me if I say our rigging is rather tight. On this type of boat we do not have the ajustable system yet (as on the Infusion) so we use the main sheet and traps to set the tension on the shrouds. They feel "hard", especially compared to many other boats. (but who sais they know?) Maybe we should check anyway when we have somebody with a gauge available.
another one I'd check would be the dolphin striker's tension......
years ago I had an adjuster bolt failure on the striker, on the beach and rigged it wasn't noticeable at all and my home made shroud tensioner at the time said all was as usual when it was checked.
on the water in a good wind it was a different case, on a reach I actually saw the leeward shroud adjuster flopping around, once back on the beach all the rig was reset and I went out for race 2.... again the shroud adjuster was flopping around on that reach although not as badly as it was when I first noticed it.
It wasn't until I was pointing hard that I noticed the huge bend in the front beam
its a wild shot in the dark but still worth checking and crossing off the list
