I have purchased a Schaefer Snapfurl furler for my 1998 240, and will be installing this spring. Boat has never had a furler before. Thinking I should replace the forestay prior to installing the furler- it is in great shape, freshwater only, but is 15 years old. If so, I recall some discussion about the upper attachment and failures due to the foil putting added stress on the wire. Does anyone have the specifics on the recommended hardware? Also could use a recommendation for a rigger- no one local here for that sort of work.
Will also be getting a new RF jib- seems like the sail loft here is the place to go.
Thanks, Dave
