Back to the topic of Mirror rig tension...
Worth remembering that the Mirror doesn't have spreaders - even the Bermudan rig. So rig tension serves pretty much one purpose, ie to control jib luff sag. It doesn't really affect mast bend or mainsail shape at all. So in light airs let it off to put the curve back in the jib luff and in strong winds wind it on to correct for any sag. But if you are wary of stressing the hull it's not that critical as you can achieve much the same with a decent kicker or via mainsheet tension.
