I am working with a sailmaker.  He is constructing a racing 155 roller furling headsail and he wants me to put a backstay adjuster on my E32.  I don't like his suggestion of a "Y" with a plate and the Y terminating in eye-bolts at the transmon corners.  He's thinking about bending the mast approx 1 inch.  

I'm thinking about a Witchard lever backstay adjuster to tighten up in heavy air and upwind and ease in light air and downwind.  I don't see me or my crew "playing" the sheet for a backstay adjuster as we get powerboat wake, like a J-24.

Please let me know your experience and or comments.
