the best description i've seen is, when your boat is at rest, you grab a shroud and rotate your hand- you should be able to rotate it about 90 degrees, or from vertical to horizontal. you need some slack to allow free rotation of the mast, but not too sloppy, you dont want it jumping out of the mast base. right? anyway thats what works for me : )
