Sorry, but I seem to be missing something. My split hydraulic backstays have leaked in the past, to I initially just set the backstay tension using the turnbuckle to a light air setting at the dock and put it on my list for future repairs. Now they're fixed ( and yes, more story on that to come). So what are you folks saying when you talk about a failure at sea being a bad outcome? Sure, I understand the loss of fluid, but not something that would result in loss of the rig.
Would you please explain? Thanks! Bruce Whitmore 1994 C&C 37/40+ "Astralis" Madeira Beach, FL (847) 404-5092
