Thanks, so much good information.

Great. Ideo.. It’s worth mentioning that he put thread locker on the Sta-Lok before pre assembly in order to lubricate the threads and avoid the stainless terminal from jamming.. which is a common thing on really large diameter wires..

People have used laser tape measure devices to measure up for rigging lengths.
It might be possible to use a laser tape measure to check furler forestay tension.
The change in total forestay straight line length to get the sag to a ballpark value would be less than 1mm. The total forestay straight line length change to set 15% of breaking strain tension would be about 15 mm to get a forestay sag of around 70 mm so it seems to me that it might be possible to get a fairly accurate number for the headstay tension with a furler fitted using a laser measurer version of the Selden 2 metre rule method.
Edit - Looks like we don't need a laser thing. Can just measure the length change at the tensioning device. I'm going to look at the numbers related to sag / catenary induced tension etc first to see how accurate the method would be but it does look like it might be enough to determine a good wire tension number.
The effect of sag change on tensioning length change change should be relatively small & if friction in the tightening device screw were to be reduced considerably with lubricant then it might be possible to also use a torque wrench approach to measuring tension in the forestay. Using a combination might help with improving accuracy so some oil, a spring balance to check force applied to the adjustable spanners & measuring bottle screw length change might do the trick. I've just got to work out the expected adjustable spanner torque numbers for the low friction & unlubricated conditions.

Will never do this but a very informative video thanks

His Steve: Very nice technicall video as allways. Please, Could you give us some detail information about this extension piece? I look for it in the Sta lock site but what I find is not exactly what you have in your hand. The part number reference will be ok. Thanks very much again.

S & J, on your sailmaker choice, I have inquired with Precision Sails about junk sails for my 60 ft schooner SV Spice of Life. They have replied never made any, but I will follow up with them when required. Thanks

Jade, is such a man of few words, but each one means something. Soooooo! Professional. "Silence is golden" I live my life on the premise, that " when all is said, there is more said than done". In today's society, people yap, yap, yap. Just a lot of unnecessary noise pollution. Good rigger choice Steve & Judy
