[C320-list] Schaefer Roller Furler Hoist

[Alex Krause]

I separated the torque tube from the drum bearing housing but the torque tube only rises about 1/4 of the way up the turnbuckle.  If the foil would slide over the Norseman fitting at the top of the forestay that might allow it raise up high enough.  A manual did not come with the boat, I'll contact Schaefer and hopefully obtain one.

  You have to remove the drum to get at the turnbuckle. Instructions are 
in the manual. It's not very hard. You should be able to get full 
access to the turnbuckle without removing any of the foil. You do have 
to disassemble and remove the torque tube to which the drum attaches.

The backstay turnbuckles are turned out as much as I dare but they are still tight and I don't want to exerience a "ping" as they strip the last thread on their way out. I'll loosen the forward shrouds next but still, the forestay seems to have a lot of tension.
