Furler is attached to forestay. Yard removes forestay from mast so is well
supported. I always store with mast down so can inspect mast and rigging. My
practice is to remove the furler after mast is down and reinstall prior to
hoisting mast. Ensures do not get corrosion on screws.

Well the 40 year old OEM freshwater pump gave up the ghost. Actually the
