Works best with sail removed
http://home.att.net/~dragonflyb331/ I've removed mine on Dragonfly -- a 2003 B331. I first removed the sail, tied a light line to the bottom sail shackle, then pulled the in-haul line all the way out. This wound the line around the sail foil in the mast allowing me to easily wind the in-haul line back in after replacing it. Next, I removed the light aluminum strip on the port side. It had two machine screws holding it in place. I removed the two bolts at the bottom of the drum and only loosened the two at the top of the drum. I used a big screw driver to pry the bottom of the drum out from the mast. From there, I could reach the knot in the in-haul line with a pair of needle nose pliers. I pulled it out, cut off the knot, removed the old line, put in the new, tied a knot, and reversed the process. It took about 4 hours the fist time I did it...less than 30 minutes last spring. We replaced it before putting the sail on. Good luck. Feel free to contact me offline if you have questions. Mark
