Any advice/help appreciated....my 32 has a split backstay....SS rod down
to the split where it is now wire coated to the turnbuckles....no
hydraulic gauge to measure pressure....every year when stepping the mast
the backstay is attached and I tension the two turnbuckles before any
after manual tension available...by looking at the mast, feeling the
forestay, and the backstay,....and I use my Loos RT 10 gauge....I know
meant for the rod rig shrouds and not to measure tension on each side
of the plastic coated wire split backstay. I estimate it to be 1,000
to 1,100 lbs. the way I am doing it but who knows.
Is there a better way to determine what my at the slip backstay tension
could be?
