    Forestay diameter on 1979 Hunter 30

    Ahoy, I am pricing out roller furlers and won't drop my mast for another six weeks. Does anyone happen to know the diameter of the forestay on a 1979 Hunter 30. Also, I am strongly considering a ProFurl C290. Any any opinions on this furling unit? Thanks, Bob

    My 30' hunter was just involved in an accident, breaking the mast. I now need to find a replacement and don't know where to start. I'm new to boat ownership and am still figuring everything out so I apologize if this is a dumb question. Any guidance and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
