i have been told by capt don that the stock catalina capri 18 forestay is not compatible with the cdi jib furler. i havent been able to find dons post but i remember that his forestay ended up looking like a pretzel. even though it might be a pain to step the mast with the furler on i am wanting to give it a try. any input?

You might check whether the turnbuckle is compliant. Can't imagine the wire rope itself being the case.

Google CDI manual, Cruising Designs Incorporated. FF1 or 2.

It's out there.
