Tuning Chart - Steve Bourdow

You'll see multiple measurements of the same boat - we did this to understand the variability of different people measuring and differences in tension gauges. We attempted to normalize for differences in halyard shackle length as well.

Notes:
- Loos gauges had a variation of up to 5
- SB and CW used the same gauge, generally ~3 lighter that gauge used by A and MZ
- Halyard were hoisted 100%, shackle height was supposed to be added to value
- Variation in height of jib hoist is significant, placing comparison of rake by jib halyard measurement in question
- Measurements in inches
- For SC boats: halyard to bow - halyard to deck ‘swing’ measurement should be 35.75" (4.25” deck height + 31.5”) [Ryan Georgianna]
