[C38] Mast Tune and Loos readings

[Steven Ribble]

Throw a block on the bale and run a line with a shackle from the bow/tack
(or whatever) through the block down the mast so you can tie it off and/or
tension it. My mast has a shackle tang about 3/4 way up that I did this to
and am using for my pole...until I get around to doing it the right way.
