More furling pictures

Spin-Tec furlers are unique in that they use bushings instead of bearings, so there are no internal moving parts. The open drums virtually eliminate jams and are pretty slick looking. Initial report is that the units function smoothly and greatly add to sailing enjoyment.

I led both the jib and staysail furling lines along the starboard side of the boat. The line visible at the forward end of the staysail boom is the staysail outhaul and runs down the port side to a cleat.



We anchor quite a bit, so we're hopeful that the drums and lines don't interfere with handling the tackle. It's going to be a tight fit.
