Does any one have any information on adding a adjustable backstay on the 26M so you can achive better sail trim. Also any information on adding weight to dagger board.I would be thankful for any help on this.

Backstay with rotating mast?
I think you could physically place a backstay in the same location that the 26X has. Obviously it has to be outboard of the roach of the sail. The anchor point at the head of the mast would have to rotate as the base does. Might not work at all. I think there was some talk about weighting the center board/daggerboards at MacGregorsailors.com I always thought that a few carefully placed pounds might be worth the extra weight for stability. Good luck.
