Hi all. Does anyone have a photo of the OEM harken backstay
adjustment set-up on the J Europe 92S. I just bought hull # 66 and am
trying to figure out how to rig the backstay.
I believe it is similar to the 6:1 double ended split set-up shown on
Harken's current website, but I am not sure:
"6:1 Double-ended Split
This double-ended split backstay system leads lines forward to cam
cleats mounted just ahead of the helmsman so adjustments can be made
from either side of the boat"
Cheers.

Here's a few pictures that may help from #56. The purple 4:1 is the coarse adjustment and of course you can put it on either side. The fine tune gets double-led to the cams in front of the traveler, turning with the small Harken cheek blocks mounted next to the traveler track.
Regards,

Not to mention spotting the Class 40 in the background at NEB.

Haha Coop. I had a feeling you'd spot that guy. Gryphon. Rest assured I think I caught him eyeballing that sweet 92 across the way from him yesterday afternoon. : )

On #65 we recently replaced the two leg compression style system with a cascade system. I think we ended up with 16-1 or 32-1 power on it. We rigged the control lines the same way.
It seemed like we had more throw on it this way. We did this after we kept shortening our headstay and were starting to have issues with the supplied backstay set up being too short.
I'll try to remember to take pictures next wednesday.
Where is #56?

Thanks to EC for the photos of hull 56. That set-up looks to me like
a modification of the OE backstay, because it is not wire. I have the
original wire backstay for my J92S that splits into two about 10 feet
above the transom. It looks very similar to the backstay on a J80,
which I have rigged many times. The challenge I am having is how to
rig the harken blocks to the lower portion of the backstay wires and
in turn to the rope adjustment leading forward into the cockpit.
Does anyone have a photo or diagram of the OE system? The owners'
manual for the boat contains almost no information on rigging.
