Conundrum Senior Member Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 203 Oxford, MI	I'm curious. How many of you have shortened the backstay the 3-5 in as recommended in the UK tuning guide. I have the headstay at 35-9.5. and the mast pretty straight. My backstay when released is quite loose. The idea of shortening seems ok. Don King
