[C320-list] Furling line

[David Gleason]

John:

The instructions with our Hood furler advised to remove  the core from
the first third of  the line.  It is not needed there as by the time the
other 2/3rds of the line is pulled out of the drum, the area of the jib
is so small there is little strain on the line.
