DIY furler question
Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 1:45 pm
Hi all,
I just raised the mast on my 1984 mac 25. She's on the way being ready to sail. I am going to make the DIY PVC furler and I just wanted to ask a couple of questions:
Is the stock forestay strong enough? (I would think so as the hank-on jib uses it, but just making sure)
Does anybody run an extra forestay to the pulpit just as an emergency backup?
Thanks,
Erik
