Wow Very impressive Phil. I would not have believed but for your images as
witness. I have only ever seen a crane assist with this. Soooo cool. Thank
you so very much to all who have responded to my furling question. You are
really, a brotherhood of like-minded people. It sure is nice to be a
stranger to this forum and be treated so caringly. Thank you again. I have
saved all of your responses and will take all of your advice seriously prior
to making a purchase.
Cheers for now and happy sailing.

Good point http://www.catalina27.org/Fleet4/halyardret.jpg
The restrainer is the block on the face of the mast. Without it the halyard
passes perilously close to the top of the furler extrusion and at times can
start to wrap around the extrusion and jam the furling process.

Gerry,
Make sure you add a halyard restrainer that will keep the halyard from
wrapping around the furling system or on the forestay. I will be adding
one
this year because of that problem.
