Best place to start is in the Articles section of the website. The articles there will help you get the boat set up, you can fine tune to your conditions from there. There aren't any real numbers for adjusting the uppers or even the intermediates between racing, About all we do on a regular basis is adjust the aft lowers. trying to maintain just enough tension to keep overbend wrinkles to a min.

:: I just bought An express and was wondering how to setup
:: the mast tuning. I am use to a j/24 and we adjust per
:: wind conditions. Is the mast changed based on wind and
:: what are the numbers on a loose gauge ?
