As I don't have super spars gauge, i would like to know to what value (in lbs or kgs) corresponds a forestay tension of 26. Could you give me the value in lbs or kgs that I should have when pulling on the Jib halyard.

Thanks Nicolas - Buzz 923 - sailing in Belgium

That's approx what you are looking for on the Jib forestay though Nicklas. It will give you about 400lbs on the shroud (30 on the gauge I believe).
