[C320-list] Schaefer 2100 furler maintenanc

[Stan]

Our boat too is fresh water sailed and put up in the Winter until it was
moved to Lake Mead and is in the water year round.  Six years on Lake
Michigan without a problem.  Two years in the desert and I think it was the
air blown sand that got the bearings.  That was two years ago.  No problems
since (2 Yrs.)
