Wilson,
The cleat for the backstay adjustment is on the starboard side, next to the chainplate. - rob

So I erected my mast for the first time yesterday. I hope there is a short learning curve. Took a while but I was single handed  Biggest challenge was the headstay. Took everything I had after shortening chains twice. Once it was finally up and I was tensioning backstays something “popped” at the masthead and then forestay was looser.

Related question- there is a block and tackle across the backstays but there is no cleat?
