Beneteau Beneteau Oceanis 323 Portishead
Hi all,
Anyone fitted a backstay tensioner on a Beneteau Oceanius 323 with twin backstays. I need to be able to tension for a little racing and need details for sailing in the Bristol channel UK. I understand twin rollers will work, anyone have any experience of this system? or any other info.
Regards
Redmarsail.:confused:

Start with two wire blocks such as the Harken HAR308, one on each stay. About ten feet above the deck, tie the two together with a piece of dyneema line (wire would be better) with a forged "O" in the middle. Add a block to the bottom of the "O" and a block with a camcleat at the back of the cockpit, and run your control line between the two. Similar to systems 3 and 4 here: http://www.mauriprosailing.com/Harken/Harken-Trimming-Systems/Backstay-Adjuster.htm

The only difference is that the blocks on the stays will be further apart.
