Bruce There is an access hatch behind the headliner in the main stateroom that you can crawl through. I have heard similar concerns. I suspect it is mostly from boats with hydraulic backstay adjustments that have been raced hard.
Not sure if anyone on this list has had a problem. I haven't, but my boat is a total cream puff cruiser that has never been raced and does not have adjustable back stays.
