[C320-list] Roller Furling

[Jeff Hare]

Except that Allan's hull is one number lower than mine (#809) and its never been a problem.  When the foil is up where it should be, that is.  :)  

We should also be flushing it out really well with fresh water after sailing in salt. It's tricky to get at the bearings without a good sprayer though.

Same story...the races were too tight on the older models, that is why
Schaefer is standing behind the replacement at cost,
