The Loos tension gauges takes the guesswork out of cable adjustment.
Use a Loos Tension Gauges to setup your rig with the right tension and repeat the right settings of your standard rigging every time again.
What are the advantages of the Loos & Co Professional Model PT-CR tension gauge?
When a boat is tuned for performance and you want to repeat the right settings then a Loos tension gauge is the right tool. Shrouds made from stainless steel can stretch a little bit over time. This means that marking turnbuckles cannot guarantee that subsequent adjustments will provide the right tension. Only by gauging is it possible to repeat the right tuning.
What is the right rig tension for my boat?
Tuning your mast with the correct shroud tension is an important part of your boat trim because of the use of mast bend to control the sail shapes under different wind conditions.Mast bend will also affect the shape and trim of your jib because mast adjustment generally affects forestay tension. The most important benefit from having the right tension is limiting the sag of the forestay. Without the proper tension on the forestay the jib luff will fall to leeward, seriously degrading the upwind performance. Please read our blog for more info about mast tension
How do you measure with the Loos & Co Professional Model PT-CR tension gauge?
- Step 1: Attach the gauge to the shroud by placing the steelwire cable between the two nylon cylinders.
- Step 2: Pull the lanyard back and hook the sliding indicator also on the shroud. The gauge should keep itself in place if it is properly hooked to the shroud.
- Step 3: Read the indicator position on the scale. You can check with the supplied calibration table to see if there is correct tension in the cable. You can change the tension in the shrouds while the gauge is attached to the cable.
Which size of the Loos & Co Professional Model PT-CR tension gauge do you need?
- Use the Loos & Co Professional LCPT-1M for 2.5mm – 4mm cable
- Use the Loos & Co Professional LCPT-2M for 5mm – 7mm cable
- Use the Loos & Co Professional LCPT-3M for 7mm – 10mm cable

One of the best Project Management Books I've Read!
Format: Kindle
This was a really great read for many reasons. The focus on ensuring your project has a strategic purpose is so important these days, where Program and Project Managers need to make sure the projects they are leading are providing value to the organization. The framework is one that can be applied immediately with the explanation and tools provided in the book and on the author's website. The real-life stories and projects were not only fun to read, but very helpful in understanding how to apply the framework. The examples were very thorough and helpful. There is great information on what is needed from a PM to be successful including managing the team and stakeholders.
On top of all that, when I got to Chapter 10 it was like a bonus chapter for me. Chapter 10's focus is on "managing your inner game", and has great information on ensuring you have the right mindset to be successful. Project Managers have the opportunity (and challenge) to work with many different personalities and in many challenging environments. This chapter provides really great information on how to navigate those waters and be successful. Chapter 10 could seriously be a book in itself.
Chapter 12 was yet another bonus chapter, especially for lifelong learners. It's all about the idea of taking everything we've learned and applying it to our life. As the author states, our lives are essentially a project. Why not apply the same principles to ensure we are achieving our purpose and providing value, with yet again, really great examples to get us started.
Anyone who leads or is involved in any kind of projects or who wants to work better in a team environment would benefit from reading this book.

Strategic Management Made Simple and Effective
Format: Hardcover
I told Terry Schmidt that would be a better title for his book, “Strategic Management Made Simple and Effective”.
The time-tested Logical Framework Approach (LFA) that Terry champions goes far beyond project management. With its exploratory LogFrame matrix leading from inputs to outcomes, outcomes to purpose, and purpose to goal, the LFA forces you to understand the reason for the project. Projects are not executed for their own reason but to achieve something specific. The LogFrame traverses the ladder from inputs to goal through objectives with success measures, ways to verify success, and assumptions that must hold true be successful.
Terry adds his own concept -- that he calls the Implementation Equation™ -- to help you build the LogFrame: IF inputs AND valid assumptions, THEN outcomes / IF outcomes AND valid assumptions, THEN purpose / IF purpose AND valid assumptions, THEN goal.
This methodology offers you a way to view the LogFrame with multiple perspectives: scientific method, strategic planning, project management, risk management, management by objectives, and, although he does not mention it, also quality management.
In particular, his use of assumptions has helped me to redefine my view of risk management. Rather than brainstorm a large list of possible risks in a registry that becomes impossible to manage, I use the probability that the assumptions needed for success are not valid – and their impact on achieving success, as the true risks that must be actively managed.
A highly entertaining as well as informative book, “Strategic Project Management Made Simple”, or whatever you choose to call it, should be the first guide you reach for when building a portfolio, creating programs or products, or starting a project.

LFA is now the Project Manager's Super-Power!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This books is not just for PMs, it is also for people in operations that are facing the challenge of aligning the output of their day-to-day activities and multiple projects with the bigger picture of their enterprise.
Personally, what I liked the most (and which it has been very helpful) is the visualization and alignment of the strategy with the operational side of the business: Logical Framework Approach (LFA) -- I call LFA my hidden super-power!
Strategy is an abstract concept and often difficult to communicate to those responsible for the execution of the projects. Terry made this task very simple by addressing the most important aspect of any project: What are we trying to accomplish and Why?

Enlightening and practical
Format: Hardcover
(Review by Scott Miller) I met the author at the PMI Global Summit 2022 and became intrigued with his background and approach. In buying the book, I found it enlightening and practical, for both my work and myself. This is an easy read and is structured in a way to allow me to easily refer to and use the tools it highlights. I encourage anyone interested in project management to buy this book and give it a read...and keep it as a reference for your career! Great work Terry!
