Hate to bother you again, but I have a question about handling the tension for the shrouds. First, our Prindle manual states that the shrouds MUST be loosened after each sail. Is this really the case and do most cat sailor follow this practice? Second, is there a way to assure that the mast will not fall on our heads as we try to increase or decrease the tension of the shrouds by moving up and down the clevis pins in the shroud adjusters -- like a safety line of some sort? (The other day the mast almost came down while we were messing around with the adjusters on the beach.) Being new to cats, your advice would really help us.



At the end of my other post, please see my thanks for your help with naming our Prindle.



Regards,

Andrew
