I think I remember seeing this come up in another discussion, but can I ask people's views on shroud tension. Mine (BRE) seem a little loose so I've retied them. However, on coming back after a sail, I found they seem to quite slack again... I'm now checking out better knots, but not sure whether to worry too much. As someone pointed out, in the photo of the BRE on the website, the lee shroud is billowing out quite a bit.

Alice Driscoll of Watercraft magazine was there to review the Baycruiser 23 and came out in the Expedition too, so that photo is one her colleague Peter Chesney took from the shore, as we tacked up and down battling the fierce Cardigan Bay tide.
