tune a piano, tune a guitar, tunafish
just walk around the deck an' make sure nuttinz' too tight.let the rig breath.it will tighten up by itself in the wind.my thought is that anything gained by "fine tuning" will be lost by towing the oversized propellor for the hydro-electric power source.and the vane's pendulum,the dodger,etc.the propellor for the sea generator was/is a 3 bladed type used to propel a 30 foot inboard motor boat.mounted on the end of a 4 foot long aluminum shaft---this baby would leap out of the water and back spin between wave crests.inevitably some hull speed is/was lost---but not noticable or even worth while mentioning.
