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.
When we step and unstep the mast, the roller furler remains attached to
the headstayone 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
Alan,
The 35-II and the 35-III, while both are 35's, they are somewhat
different boats...and here in Nova Scotia...the PHRF for the 35-II is
126 and the 35-III is 123...some other places have the 35-III PHRF at
120not a lot but a difference. And the 33-II here is rated 132,
which on
Thanks everyone for your input.

I don't know how the Mk II compares with the Mk III, but when I raced with
a #3 (105%) genoa, I pointed five degrees higher than most boats in our
PHRF fleet. Any small loss in speed was more than made up for by the better
pointing angle. I was frequently first to the weather mark.

While what you say is valid, the point earlier being was that the 33-II
will out point the 35-IIand the 33-II which sails in St Margaret's
Bay where you sail will out point your35-II (even sailed single
handed).wouldn't you agree?

Now check the predicted motion comfort factors for these boats. If you do
any cruising along the coast of NS the 35 MKII is very slippery and very
pleasant to be driving and nice accommodations too.

I have a heck of a time upwind with my 38-2 beating those 33’s. Quick
upwind and point higher. Downwind we can make some ground up but often
not enough to win

On a rea h a longer waterline boat usually has faster hull speed so would pass.
If all boats were same design they would have same hull speed and woukd not
pass on a long reach. On short courses with short legs even wl length makes
little difference.

I leave it all together, Timberhitch everything along the length of the mast.

An easy way to secure the furler to the mast (if you have a deck-steppedast) is
to put a length of lumber (I use a 2x3 - it fits nicely), about 2-3 ft, into
the bottom of the mast, and then strap the furler drum to that lumber. This
prevents the furler foil from bending.
Your yard would likely
Ditto to what Bill said. I wrap the furler with a heavy towel or blanket to
protect it and the deck. When the mast is down, I tie the forestay to the mast
for storage, including the wrapped drum.

It stays attached to the forestay and most yards will separate the head stay
and roller furling unit from the mast for storage.

The drum comes up with it. Pretty hard to take it apart. I bring a heavy
towel or blanket, and wrap it around the drum a few times, and tape it up
so it doesn't scuff the deck up

Hello CnCers,
I’m hauling out for the winter at a new boat yard. I’m having the mast pulled
to do some work. I’ve never pulled the mast with the furling drum. I was
wondering if the drum stays attached to the forestay, remains on the bow or is
completely removed. Appreciate any responses.
