Good day to all!
I plan on installing a roller furl setup on my version 1. Stepping the mast with current forestay setup is pretty easy for one person to do. I made up a jig with 2x4's that held the mast partially up and that helped. Looks like the new arrangement eliminates the current cable and a different one would then be incorporated in the new furling mechanism. Hopefully it's just as easy to step the mast with the jib rolled around it. Anybody have experiance with this?
