I use to use... Looser for light crews (minimum crew weight 285 or less). Up to where you can pull them (both) in to touch the mast 18" above the lower bolt. This allows mast bend to flatten the rig. Tighter as the crew weight goes up. Less mast bend, more sail power. |

H18 performance manual gives you the specs for this. Looser for less power, tighter for more |
