I guess they are OK then. The rig does not slam around in lignt winds at all. It was just that I noticed the leeward shrouds slacking and I figured that slack could probably be taken down a bit for an overall tighter rig. Regarding the mast bend though, I noticed that when my mast is down on the trailer it is not perfectly straight and is bowed to one side. Should I loosen one diamond wire while tightening the other until the problem is corrected? and that brings me to the same question. How tight should they be??

Thanks guys!
