Hydraulic sailboat backstay adjuster Navtec
Ergonomics meets economics. The new Series 8 Integral Backstay Adjuster incorporates several key design improvements. The pressure gauge is positioned prominently, enabling fast, accurate reading of tension values. A longer pump handle produces faster pumping motion and more tension per stroke, which delivers greater performance out of modern masts. The feed tube is seated into the contour of the cylinder, resulting in a more secure design and integrated look. And its cost has remained highly competitive. In testing, the Navtec Series 8 Integral enabled sailors to increase rigging tension quickly, precisely, and easily. With each stroke of the handle, rake increased along with forestay tension, resulting in improved roller furling gear performance, sail shape, windward performance, and speed. Use of the specifically designed Integral toggle is strongly recommended.
