[C320-list] Jib Furler Sticking

[Robert E. Sloat]

Ditto with me on hull 894.  I have tried to locate the spinnaker haylard 
near the bow rail and it always rubs on the jib foil most of the time 
wrapping around it.

I locate it on a cleat on the port jib track on the cabin top.  A benefit is 
that when launching the spinnaker, the haylard is handy near the mast.
