During the haulout of my First 35s5 this year, I chose to replace the poor
backstay adjuster the boat came with, and I replaced it with a Navtec
Hydraulic Backstay Adjuster. (See photos below). I had the mast removed and
inspected. For those interested, I also took this opportunity to replace the
fore and back stays and also moved up one size, (3/8 inch forestay and 7/32
backstay). I also replaced all swaged fittings with Norseman fittings. All
pins were replaced with proper fitting ones. To my surprise and to that of
the rigger, many of the pins were smaller than the holes, and this improper
fit created premature wear in the pins. I also added Norseman Backstay
insulators to create an antenna for the Single Sideband/HAM Radio. All the
discontinuous rods were disassembled and dye tested for wear. An expensive
process, but well worth it.
