[Rhodes22-list] Dennis Frappier's Question

[Chris Geankoplis]

Dennis,
There is a swivel bead just above the swaged aircraft fork fitting at the
base of the forestay.  The bushing/bearings of HDPE are flush with the end
of the tube.  This raises the disc clear of entanglements.  One could
reposition the disc higher but then you would loose sail area.  You also
might place a short piece of tubing with bushings to raise the entire
assembly up a bit so the bottom of the jib won't chafe on the bow pulpit,
something I am thinking of doing.  There is a technique to use when furling
and unfurling the jib, otherwise you might foul one of the sheets or furling
line.  I'll explain when you reach that stage.

Chris

Dear Chris, 
I got the furler pictures, thanks a bundle.  Are there pieces of HDPE under
the disc that keeps it a few inches off the deck and out of the attachment
at the bow?  

Sincerely,

D'OH! Thanks Hank,
