we noticed that the lowers got very sloack and got worst with every tack. when we got to the marina both inners were extra soft. we meassured them and confirmed that they lost tension (from 40 before the race to 32 at the end of it).

i know i shouldn't have worked with them during the race; but, i'd rather have a DQ than a broken mast.

what's your recommendation, if any, to prevent it from happening again?

thanks for your time and counselling.
