I just installed a new CDI last year, I did order a new forestay from jerry and it came in perfect, I measured and remeasure and took pictures but it was worth it. I would not go back to hanked sails its nice when finished to just roll away. BTW I would remove the mast to remove the furler, this will give you an opportunity to inspect the stay for meathooks and corrosion.

So I don't have the advantage of having installed it. What I would like to do is remove it. What I am wondering is if the original forestay is under all that?....and what might it take to get back to the basic wire stay. Thanks in advance.

I think the stock forestay usually needs to be shortened. DAVID O. RUDD Gallatin River Communications L.L.C. 625 S.
