Shroud tensions on a dinghy are critical to performance, and being able to replicate those settings time and again is vital. The problem has always been that rig gauges wear as they get older, leading to decreased accuracy and you sailing with the wrong rig settings. Using another rig tension gauge, even if it’s of the same make and design, can often give two completely different numbers, which makes it near impossible to replicate settings from a tuning guide unless you have a brand-new rig gauge. This led Daniel Henderson and the team of engineers at Sea Sure to develop the Rig Gauge Pro. Designed to give you the same accurate readings time and time again, so that you can perform at your best and have confidence that your rig is set up right. Sea Sure's Daniel Henderson explains why the Rig Gauge Pro is so different. Now available from your local chandleries, including Marine Super Store, Force 4, Fox’s Chandlery, Pinnell & Bax, Hartley Boats.

After a brilliant start right on the gun, Law Connect sailed well down the Western Channel to hold off all challengers and get outside first in just under six minutes. They also managed to furl their A2 really well and this year and kept first place once out in the Tasman Sea and heading South for Hobart. Well done crew.
