Hard to tell exactly....are your shrouds REALLY loose? Once the jib is up, you need to pull even harder on the jib halyard to bring the mast forward and tighten the rig. If you tension the jib halyard to the point the mast shrouds tighten/mast leans further forward...you will stretch/break the jib luff when you tension the mainsheet. You don't want the sail luff to be acting like a forestay! Always tighten the mast shrouds first, getting the rig tight enough to reduce forestay slack. Then tension the jib halyard to take wrinkles out (and not much more). Mike Dobbs Tornado CAN 99 "Full Tilt"
