... were posted as file attachments and easy to deal with as one was forced to open them in an image viewer app outside the forum.
I have a half prepared page dating from that time that is almost ready to post on the main site. It was going to cover both furling and reefing systems, but I was...

Thanks Greg. Here are the two parts of the furling kit, with the top section in the sail lowered position.

Just this one with a jib pole. We only use the pole when goose winging before the wind. The disc at the top in the other picture is actually a metal ash tray to stop the sail getting wound into the forestay when furling. It didn’t come with the kit.

I recommend leaving a blank line between each picture. You can always check the appearance by using the "Preview Message" but to check how things appear before clicking on "Post Message"

We have a very simple furling system and it works well. I could post some close ups but am not sure if I can post more than one picture at a time (Greg?)

Spot on! A foil is a flat tube that the sail can wrap around but is only needed to keep the leading edge shape if you are furling to reef.
And yes you need a wire, but it’s usually built into the leading edge (luff) of the sail already. You can use that.
Thanks for all your replies, after looking i think you are right in having the sail adjusted to fit.

You may also be right in just a top and bottom swivel as the link above as i assume you mean as the foil may be too big, i also assume you need a wire between top and bottom swivel?

... the Seahawk, the main point of furling is to put it away, not to reduce sail. It’s so small that you are v unlikely to use a half rolled jib to reduce sail, so don’t need a foil to keep the luff in shape.
As such, I’m not sure I’d even bother with a foil. You can just use a furler and a wire...
Hi Greg, Perry and Ben
I am also considering to add a jib furling system to my rig. It is a Nemo Wonderfurl TR model (if I can get the last missing pieces, i.e. 4.5 meters foil). It will entail a few modifications. I will have to replace the forstay since it has to be a minimum of 4 mm wire for...
...Hi Ben,
Judging from the photo on your Introduce yourself post, your mast is the standard SSS mast and unless there some customisation has been (your photo doesn't show the top of the mast) it will be the same as that shown here:
The reason I took the photo from the rear is because there......

...Ben
I’d avoid that for a couple of reasons. First off the strength of the mast relies on the tension between the lower shrouds and the forestay. If you move where it’s connected then the mast bend changes and you weaken the mast strength. Might be fine, but might break.
Also, a larger......
