Second the thought. I left my backstay tension on hard for a couple of months, and spent a heck of a lot of time trying to track down a leak that was coming down on the galley counter. Then I noticed that one of the light fixtures over the counter was full of water and badly corroded; so I deduced the leak was in the deck hardware and draining down inside the headliner. After a great deal of effort, I finally figured out the boat was not sitting on her lines because of how gear had been stored for some project work, and the tension on the backstay had "banana-ed" the boat. Waater was collecting under the forward part of the companionway cover, spilling onto the liner, and draining down to the gallet.
Now I release tension on the backstay every time I put the boat to bed. And the leak has gone away.
