[C320-list] Charleston in Mast Furling Line Replacement

[Dick Walker]

Bye the way.

AS your sail gets used it stretches a bit out of shape and may make the furler hard to use.

Ullman in Dan Diego, and other ports does a "Tummy Tuck" that reshapes the sail making it easier to furl.

Other hints are to have the boom above horizontal and not over tighten the main halyard.

Good Summer Sailing

Danny, 

     They have a manual that can be downloaded on their website.
     I have the same unit and noticed some wear starting to show on my outhaul line.
     I was going to switch ends to extend the life of the line.  Anyone have any suggestions about the easiest way to run the line thru the boom?  Should I just tape the ends together and pull them thru?

Dear Group,
I'm considering replacing the furling line in my Charleston in mast furling system. I was wonder if any of you have done this and about how long would this take. Do you know where I can find instructions? Please also let me know the risks involved doing this myself.
