I think only the "sport" version of the C22 has forward and aft lower shrouds -- the standard versions I've seen have single lowers. Is yours a "sport" or standard version?
Also, take a good gander at your spreaders and make sure nothing is amiss.

True that but I think I've got a plan. Yes its a standard not a sport but does have 4 shrouds each for the lower and upper. Total of eight. Yes they are defiantly too slack in this kind of air. I agree, close should be good enough for the week(s) to come before I'm tossed into the USS36
They are standard (enclosed) turnbuckles so I think my plan should be to tighten 1-2 turns at the slip all the way around. Check mast camber (fore/aft/port/starbord) and go sailing as usual.
Making adjustment while out could be a challenge considering I'm usually single handed (well the admiral is always below). I think I'll just aim for "better than it is right now" in the short term.
Bottom line, I would hate to have something fail just weeks before I start the process of selling her.
Thanks again guys for all the great advice. I'll let you know here after the weekend how it worked out.
Cheers,
