Hello, our rig is tuned like this: 



Uppers = 26 

intermediates = 24 

Foward lower = 16 

aft lower           = 14 

backstay = 30 or 2000lb 

backstay  min 25 0r 1400lbs 

mastbend = 8" max , 

4" good 

These are the Loose Tension guage numbers for 5/16" wire, I'm not on the boat so I don't know the lbs. We cruise and don't race. approx 10k miles adjusted like this with several gales. We broke our backstay adjuster too.
