We're on a mooring. Last night the wind was very moderate - 10 - 15 kts perhaps - and I got woken up by the rigging!
Recently, Toodle-oo!'s rigging has started to drone - and I put my mandolin tuner onto the upper shrouds and it reports that Toodle-oo!'s tune is a D#! What tune does your rig play? When you touch the shrouds, you can feel them vibrating...
Is this normal or is there too much tension on the rig? The mast is nicely vertical with a little bend and I don't notice it falling to leeward when blowing, The leeward lower does get very loose at times - such that I tightened them just a tad (half turn) a couple of months ago.
Appreciate any thoughts...
