Thanks Anthony for setting up this Rocket 22 owners site. I hope that this will be an opportunity for us all to share a bunch of information on how to make these boats go faster.

This past week I bought a Loos gauge (PT-2) 3/16 -1/4" for measuring shroud and forestay tension. I have begun to compile a matrix of mast jack turns and shroud/forestay tension. I will post it here by the end of the week. With the mast jack at "0" (where it just engages with the mast post) , I have the cap shrouds tight, but with no tension. At some point you may to to get a gauge, or borrow one to get a feel for how your rig is set up.
