Fore and back stay tension is typically set at 15% of breaking strength of the wire, or 495 pounds, to start. Sailing tests can result in this increasing, but in no case should it ever exceed 825 lbs. Or 47 on the loos, and for most boats a maximum of 600 lbs. (45 loos) would be reasonable. The stat...
