Hi, folks,

We're replacing our standing rigging in a couple of weeks and will
have available the workhorse Harken II (or 2?), version 2 furler and
foils (1" cross section, 1.1" depth, dual slot) available. *We have
the replacement pins for securing the sections of the foil together,
so will disassemble it, and have also the owner's or maintenance
manual (forget which; it's buried in my HD). *This unit has worked
flawlessly for us, snip

Thanks for the chuckle, Skippy. Seems like I recall quite recently where you
had to motor halfway across the Gulf Stream with your genny all twisted up
and flogging and ended up having to have extensive repairs to it because of
your malfunctioning wind-up rig?

Heh, *nice try. *Your memory's obviously failing in your dotage. *The
furler worked just fine. *It was operator error while in a rush. *Read
the post again. *Meanwhile, we'll prolly be in the Bahamas for more
than a year. *You gonna come over and have a beer, and embarrass us
with your much faster boat, or are you going to be our guest?

Skip, sweating in S. GA, total repaint inside, some trim varnish, oil
change, coolant change, and a thousand other little boat chores as we
prepare to leave for the rest of our lives

Hot Damn! You are leaving us alone with Willie, The Great Mariner. If
you were any kind of a gentleman you'd have pity on us and take him
with you :-(

Cheers,

Bruce

Heh. Read my reply :{)) We've offered - and, besides, once I get my
computer reinstalled, wherever there's internet, I'll be there. So,
not leaving, just cruising...

Skip, back to paint and the muffler repair, now that all the engine
maintenance has been done
