Marek,
Thank you for the responseI tension each wire split stay approx.
500 to 600 lbs. assuming the combined tension is not the actual sum of
the two on the rod. But if it is approx. 95% of the sum of the two,
then generally that is what I want without backstay tension. Some day I

Alan, Dennis, Martin,
I appreciate the replies. We have also repaired "smiles" - small grins at
least - at the rear of the keel seasonally with ever increasing structure
over the last few years, hence my reticence to crank on rather than the rod
force. We had short waves ~3' plus out of alignmen

Guess I'm wondering what the wave state was. If you had 2+ foot seas, you
may want a bit of sag for power. If the seas were flat then I could see a
fairly straight forestay but not at the risk of damaging the boat.
I rarely use more than 1100 lbs on my Navtec. I've seen a "smile" at the

It's important to know the force being applied, not the pressure. Force is
equal to pressure multiplied by the area of the hydraulic cylinder, and all
cylinders are not the same. There's a Navtec manual on the photoalbum web site.

Is it recommended to periodically replace the hydraulic fluid in the Navtec
backstay adjusters?
If so is it a DIY project and what is the recommended replacement fluid?

Dwight,
I'm no expert on this, but a dedicated student. The owners manual states that
max backstay tension should be kept below the tension that will stretch the
Navtec Rod. Once metal stretches beyond a certain point, it remains that way.
“As a rule of thumb, the maximum static backstay pressu

Do you have any numbers you would be willing to share with us, like the
numbers you found to give best VMG as a function backstay tension, apparent
wind speed and apparent wind angle for you boat, which if I remember
correctly is a C&C 37.
I don't really use the numbers as much as sail
