Hi,
New to Sailing and purchased my first sailboat towards the end of last year (Hunter 23.5). I’m in the process of finalising all the bit and pieces to put the boat in the water as soon as I can. I’ve reached the stage of putting my new jib on the roller furling track. I’m still learning all the terminology so please forgive me if I get something wrong or don’t understand.
I believe my furling system only has the drum and no top swivel. The track has a slider with a short line threw the “eye” of the slider. There’s also another line that is attached to the top of the slider that runs up and exits the track right at the top. I’m assuming the small line is to hitch the head of the jib to the slider. I’m not sure what the line is that runs up the track. Hoping someone can shed some light on these two lines (and the length of the “top” line as it’s broken)?
I’ll attach a photo to try and show what I have written.
Many thanks in advance.
