PDQ32 rig tension

I see many questions but no answers as to proper tension. After my boat was set
up at the factory I measured the tension using a Loos PT-3 gauge. The diamond
shrouds read 20 and the cap stays read 41.

I should have mentioned that my boat, hull 48, has the taller fractionally
rigged Selden mast and these numbers may not apply to the older masthead
rigs.According to the chart supplied by Loos these numbers represent the
following tensions
Diamond shroud--9/32" dia.--1300# tension
Pelican striker--5/16"dia.--2000#tension
Cap shroud--3/8"dia. 2100# tension.
