Hi All, I have an ultrafurl 500, no doubt many C&Cs of this vintage have the same. I am having some trouble with it (sticking) and Heider from Ultrafurl (I believe he's the guy that designed these things) sent along the installation instructions as a guide on how to disassemble for a look. Well, it seems I can get the drum disconnected and raised up the forestay without disconnecting the forestay but if I want to remove it for a clean I will have to disconnect and use a halyard for backup. I've done this with the shrouds but there are two of those! I have two headsail halyards so I'm thinking to use both, attached to either the stem fitting or the toe rail and then tensioned pretty tight. Should I be loosening the tension on the rest of the rig when I do this?
Any tips or warnings? Thanks, Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto
