The J/109 Class Association Forum

We developed a backstay leak. Does anyone know which rebuild kit works on this backstay? Says is custom for 109.

Thank you.

These two Sailtec documents are posted on the J/109 site under "Info", "Drawings & Manuals". It is J/109 Custom based on the -10 size with the Sailtec part number -10CUSTOM (J-109).

• Sailtec Backstay Adjuster Oil Drain and Fill Procedure - 10/2/2008
• Sailtec Hydraulic Backstay Adjuster - Service Maintenance and Repair Manual - 1/15/2015

Part numbers for the seal kits are:

• 42000 Integral Pump
• 42010 -10 Cylinder

This is a link to a 2008 Brochure with various parts.

Thank you.

Have you checked a marine supply store?

Hello all. I am wondering where I could find the correct backstay replacement for one that was replaced but is no longer serviceable. Could anyone provide me a link to where I could purchase a new one? Thank you

Thank you!

I reached out to the folks at Sailtec -- they were very helpful going direct.
