Zusammenfassung:	A self-contained tension adjusting device for adjusting the tension in the backstay of a sailboat includes a single housing for a pump, a hydraulic cylinder with a movable piston coupled to the backstay, and a reservoir containing hydraulic fluid. Operation of the pump forces hydraulic fluid from the reservoir to the cylinder to move the piston and adjust tension in the backstay. A bleed valve in the housing is operated to relieve tension in the backstay, and a relief valve in the housing limits the maximum tension in the backstay.
