Adjustable Back Stay
Could someone post a close up photo of their backstay block setup? Also what blocks are used in the setup. Any ideas for modifications? Thanks

No problem,
Before you pull too much on the back-stay, take a look at your mast cap. Make sure the crane is fully wielded to the mast cap and not just spot wielded. Contact US Spar to get a free replacement/upgrade.

A simple upgrade to the original backstay is to remove the existing block and tackle setup and replace it with a small Garhauer boom vang setup, which is a fiddle block and a fiddle block with an integrated cam cleat. This means you don't have to tie the line off to the cleats on the aft transom arch, just cleating it off in the cam cleat. This is a much cleaner and simpler setup.
