Bill K., Doesn't the original forestay simply slide down the the center hole of the plastic luft?

Mike, I just purchased the CDI FF2 flexible furler for my M-17. I haven't installed it yet since it requires a new forestay, at least for my model. It has been strongly recommended to me by three other M-17 owners. If you so decide, the best price that I found is offered by the sail Warehouse. I bought it elsewhere before I learned of Sail Warehouse, who's catalog I received just yesterday.

www.thesailwarehouse.com 831 646-5346.

Don't be spooked by the luft uncoiling process. I uncoiled it easily by myself and it straightened itself out in a few days on my cold baement floor.
