Default Tuning info wanted

Greetings.
I just bought a 1984 Ericson 28+ , judging from the condition of the rest of the boat, I dought that the mast is in proper tune. I am hoping that someone has ,or can point me in the direction of instructions for proper tune. like rake,prebend ,shroud tention.
She's fractional rigged with only two aft lower stays, well it has upper shrouds as well.
and the spreaders are stright .
Thanks you.
David.

Default Mast Tune

David,

I've looked at a lot of references on mast/rig tuning and I have found that the Selden guide HINTS AND ADVICE available from Brion Toss is the most helpful.

Default Selden, and me

Hello,
That Selden pamphlet is a gem, and it pays particular attention to fractional rigs. But we also have received a great deal of positive feedback on my tuning video, so please leap over to the catalog to get one.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
