Just aquired a Hunter Vision 32 and have never removed the headsail. Can anyone offer help on doing this? I know the "key" on the mast comes out to pull the sail from the mast but what about pulling the foot of the sail from the boom?

Removing the headsail or headstay

Joyce: Are you trying to remove the headsail or the headstay? If you are trying to remove the head sail and it is on a CDI furler, you just need to untie the line that connect the sail to the furler. You may need to attach a line to the line that raises and lowers the sail. Once you do that you just need to drop the sail.

get the main off the track first.

Joyce: I think you need to remove the main off the track first. The you should be able to slide it off the boom. It will slide forward on the boom. You will also need to remove the outhaul on the main.

Whow, so easy- the sail is down and boat winterized. Sure is sad to put her up for the winter. Thanks for your help. (I have become addicted to reading this forum on sailing.)
