I went out to set up the boat today to be sure 1. I knew how, and 2. Everything was actually there and in working order.
Couple of questions....
1. This has roller furling, however it also has a forestay. In every other boat I have seen, they have one or another. I asked the previous owner who stated they both stay on. However his bride let slip they only sailed under main, so maybe he didn't really know. Can someone shed light on this, and also, how do you connect the top of the RF to the mast? Looks like a clevis may work, but still would be odd.
2. Does the luff of the main go into the slot a few inches from the boom? Seems like it would slide back down from the entry point in the slot. It appears it should, however it didn't want to go very easy and thought I would ask before forcing it into the slot.
