I've done too many repairs on boats that have been rigged too tight.
Probably (should, anyway) goes without saying, but if folks store their boat mast up and run their rig tight they should take the tension off when the boat is not being sailed. My NACRA assembly manual specifically states this for my 6.0, but I'm surprised at how many people look at us funny when we put the tension on before sailing and take it off afterward.
