[C320-list] Bird Problem

[David J Cardoza]

No in mast and its screwed to the mast and wired to the stays.  On a
previous boat I used parachute cord and just tied it same result. Clean
deck.

Do they use monofilament and how do they mount it  to the mast and  
shroud?  I have an in mast furling mainsail so I would be reluctant  
to put screws into the mast.  Thanks.
