Thanks Doug, I have been thinking the Hobie furler will work best with the present rigging. It looks like it is stable, attached at the two sides by the bridle. I understand your double pull rig. I will use it. Moving on, I am not happy with the Halyard hook on the top of mast to keep the main up. I have to put the main up on the water and it isn't easy. Is there any reason why the main can't be tied off low on the mast. A swage on the end of the wire portion of the main halyard and a hook mounted at the proper place on the lower mast, where you can reach it, should do the same job, or am I missing something. another hook above would do the reefing. The other way would be to tie off the rope portion with a cleat. Do any other boats use the Hook system on the top of the mast?
