[C320-list] Fore Stay Furling Gear

[Steve Magennis]

You can easily bring the furling line down the other side.  There are
minimal modifications that are required (rotate the drum slightly to
get the guard out of the way (because you don't want to turn the drum
the opposite direction, and install a cleat to secure the furler line
(along with moving the pulleys from the stantion bases from port to
starboard).  Go for it.

I have a problem in that my two head sails (a UK 155% and a Catalina
135%) furl in opposite directions.  That's a pain in the but.
