I have also discussed the topic with circumnavigator, sailmaker, and rigger Jamie Gifford who as provided the following additional advice: 1. Catamaran rig tuning - BIG tension in the diamonds stabilizes the rig 2. Shrouds and headstay are minimally tensioned and reduce shock loading - excessive tension can damage a catamaran bending it in half 3. Too much tension is the common mistake with catamaran rig tuning 4. When on a close-hauled in 15+ knots of wind, the leeward shroud should get loose
