[C320-list] Fore Stay Furling Gear

[Steve Magennis]

One potential problem is that the anchor locker opens to port. 
Bringing the furler line down the starboard side may make it more
dificult to open the locker (but of course, it may be easier as the
locker might easily swing past the line, I don't know)
