John,
When I mentioned this system for the mast, I FORGOT, that you're rigging a Hooter!
I think you're right, it will NOT work well! I think it will get all twisted up, etc. Obviously you're going to furl the hooter, and it needs a more stable attchment, that won't rotate when furling.
Sorry, forgot about that!
See you tomorrow for my wifes baby shower at the TCD.
Todd
