Catalina Forestay Woes
Just hauled my Catalina 30 for the winter and had the mast unstepped. To my surprise the top end of the forestay is partially "unwound" (from friction with the roller furling gear I suppose). It''s the original standing rigging from 1988 so I don''t mind replacing it, but HOW?? Removing the Hood Seafurl 810 looks like a herculean task. Has anyone ever done this? Is there anyone in upstate NY who will come to my boat to tackle this job? I''d ship the whole thing to BOATUS or WESTMARINE but I don''t have a fifty foot box! Thanks for your help.
