Probably because we are all clicking on it at once. Try again, as it 
worked fine for me.

Danny, that is a very nice write up. Please consider putting it on the

My guess is the job will take about 2 hrs if you read all the information this article and your boat is in a good place to do the job. I did this single handed but I would use a forestay leash to help with managing the forestay once the forestay is unfastened.

I did it by myself, but there are a couple of points where an extra pair of hands would be helpful while lining up the locking pin and supporting the foil. I simply put a rolling hitch on the foil with the halyard and used it to support the weight of the foil on the stay.
