I second the split back with tackle/cam cleat apparatus suggestion. I race a
bit with it and Find it straight forward and quick adjusting. Pretty direct
feedback on rig tension.

For a 33 you may want to consider one of the fittings that ride on a split
backstay from Johnson. Not nearly as eloquent but effective and probably the
best value.

If you race your boat you will find the mechanical back stay adjuster to be a
complete PITA.
I have a stainless steel Barient back stay adjuster (5/8" pins and uses a winch
handle to adjust) that came with my boat back in 1975 to be used in case the
original Meriman hydraulic adjusters failed. It did indeed fail and we rigged
the Barient and it took all that one could do to crank in enough tension just
to straighten the mast

Hi all,
I sent my navtec backstay for a rebuild at Southshore and it seems the over 25
years thing is dammaged (scratch on pump cylinder, not fixable, it still
leaks). I'm looking at options and the two on the list are: replace it by the
exact same thing (Navtec) or screw hydrolic and go with the mechanical option.
Would be a Wichard product, the one with a ratchet or handle with no ratchet,
not the wheel.
any opinions on that decision would be appreciated regarding reliability and
performance (i like to play with that toy!) would a mechanical be too slow to
adjust?
Thanks
