The leeward shrouds on most boats will be come slack under sail, but you might want to check the
rigging specifications for your boat and check to see if they're up to the proper tension level. If not, the
rig can fatigue from the shockloading of the loose shrouds...and that is bad.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
