Replace mast with inmast furler.

In principle I would agree that an inboom furler would sound like the way to go. My family''s experience with them on my Father''s 42 footer is that they still have a lot of bugs to work out yet. You can''t reliably count on them working unless they are perfectly aligned which is something that cannot not happen in a seaway.
