FRANCESPAR BACKSTAY ADJUSTER - HANDYLOCK SS DUAL HANDLE

[thetone]

Hello,

I'm thinking of purchasing this used backstay adjuster for my 1990 35s5. Does anyone have experience with this manufacturer. Also wondering if it is the right size. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Is the one in the photo below the one you are looking to purchase and how do you plan to rig it? Suggest discussing with your local rigger to make sure it is fit-for-purpose for that Beneteau First 35S5. My two cents is consider a block and tackle with a split backstay from a major supplier such as Harken, etc.
