Well, earlier this spring, I took the boat for a short romp around Rock Hall, MD, and had tons of fun (even though it was really cold). I also got to try out my awesome new swageless fittings, which worked really well (I didn't assemble the new forestay until I had the mast up with the jib halyard holding it) and had decided that, for this trip, i'd skip the CDI so I left the extrusion at home. Well what do ya know, I tried to install it and the swageless fittings don't work with the CDI! I could take the fitting off the wire and reinstall it one the extusion is on, but I don't know. I never really liked rolling the thing up under load, and once I had the (stupid me for not replacing it) vee cleat let go of the furling line in about 35 knots. THAT was fun, and also damaged the base of the extrusion, I had to end-for-end it. Have people had much luck running a jib downhaul? I do single-hand, so it would be nice to be able to get the thing down if need be. It seems to me like [me helping gravity] is a lot less work then [me fighting wind]
