When we step and unstep the mast, the roller furler remains attached to the headstay....one person is assigned to hold the headstay/furler and maneuver it as needed to remain clear until it can be attached on stepping or handed ashore when unstepping.  When stepping and  unstepping, we use sail ties to hold the shrouds, baby stay and backstay to the base of the mast.....keeps things neat and easy to handle.

For the first time in 16 years with this boat, I didn't unstep the mast this Fall (for reasons), but the furler always stayed attached when it was done.
