I have just launched my DF800 mk2 (non folding) Vamos. When I set it up the water stays were loose. This is obviously incorrect. How much tension should there be on the waterstays , side stays and fore stay?
My was made in South Africa in 2002. I am looking forward to a sail this week but obviously must tighten the water stays.

Any help would be gratefully recieved.

I have been instructed by the previous owner of my mk2 to just remove the looseness of the waterstay while the arms are just deflecting through the weight of the amas.

I originally had the water stays too tight but fir the last couple of years have been tensioning them as you recommend.
