Sabre 28: rig tensioning

On a recent sail we noticed too much slack in the leeward shrouds.
I found my old Loos cable gauge.  With suggestions from the original Sabre manual that came with the boat, we went from shroud to shroud and slowly and evenly increased the tension.
On a subsequent sail, leeward slack was much reduced and we have a bit more confidence in the standing rigging.
