I replace my diamond wires and stupid me forgot to take a reading before taking them off... And I liked the setting....
I have found a few settings on line of 176 KGS/ 390 LBS Setting #28 on the Loos Gaudge, but that seems a light.
Any other benchmarks to consider?
Boat = 2003 NACRA F-18
Crew = on average 440 lbs.... I know... to big old guys
Wind = on average 10 to 15 kts steady
Water = general ocean sailing... moderate chop
