Whisker stay tension

[thuss]

I used the riggers apprentice book and video and a Loos tension guage to tune the rig on our Hans Christian 38. So far so good, however, what amount of tension is recommended for whisker stays, I went with 10% of wire strength but I thought it would be good to verify that.

Thanks,
Todd
