[C320-list] Furler issues

[Mark Hood]

Marko, we are getting a new Selden rig from the deck up this winter. We are
converting to in-mast furling. We have a Schaefer furler that is available
for a fair price if you need one to replace it, it or any other items. We
have our Charleston boom, Garhauer boom vang, Forespar mast mounted whisker
pole available also. Everything in great shape, it is Jeff Hare's old 320
#809. Will probably be cutting up the old mast for scrap value this spring.
My cell is 508-641-7017 if interested. Mark Hood
