John,
Your numbers from the loos gauge mean absolutely nothing to me, but your  
comment about a 1000 pounds of pressure on the mast support troubles me. 
Anyone  else have any thoughts or experience with the loos gauge?

Hi  all,

The boat has been in the water for three weeks now and the rigging  has bin
tightened gradually to what I consider normal. In that time the  boat has
been hit by several cold fronts sweeping through the area with  winds of 30
mph with gusts to 50. I've been out sailing (10 to 15 with  gusts) trying 
out
my new mainsail from sailcare. and can report no problems  aside from 
getting
used to some squeaks and groans as the 34 year old cabin  adjusts to the new
load. The interior picture shows the arch under a mast  load of approx 1000
lbs.   
120 on the baby stays and 240 on  the side stays as measured on the loos
gage.
