Hi,
I am a new member from Hungary and would like to greet all of you out there. I recently got a 1992 Hunter 35.5 Legend. I found her in the Nederland and now assembling on Lake Balaton and ran into a problem.
When hoisted the headsale the furling rod in the center of the drum as attached do not stay in position therefore provisionally we tied a rope to avoid moving. However, it does not seem to function properly. We found later on top of the pack of chains a piece shown on the right and maybe this is the piece should be attached. However, the pin which presently holds the furler is 10 mm in diameter and the hole on the piece is smaller, so it is unlikely they will fit together. Other problem is, that the mast has no rake in it and it may be connected to the problem described above. I understand mast rake in Hunters is controlled by only the length of the furling system and if it is shorter it pulls the must forward.
Can you help me please?
