A more sophisticated professional grade tension gauge to accurately tune the rigging found on the Catalina 28 and Catalina 30. This gauge can also be used on the upper shrouds of the Catalina 25, Catalina 250, and Catalina 27, but the lower shrouds of these boat models require a smaller tension gauge found in the "May We Also Suggest" section below.
Suitable for use on 3/16" to 1/4" size wire.
I use this product before I go out sailing or racing as I want to achieve optimal performance out of my boat. Many people feel as if you only need to tune your rig when you are racing, but that is not true. Doing this regularly and always setting the mast back to "base" or to "pre-bend" when I am done for the day, will ensure that I do not cause damage to my mast. This simple tool has helped me win races in some of the toughest fleets.
I keep one on my boat and in my truck, just in case I am asked by a friend to borrow it at a regatta.
