Jim, Attached are two pictures of my 88 vintage furler. Hope these help. The smaller hole on the drum isn't used. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

The jib sail was removed from the furling tube and I would like to put it back on the tube. The sail has a pocket for the furling tube to be inserted into. On the top of the tube there is a screw and washer that probably holds the top of the jib sail to the tube through a grommet in the sail. The bottom of the furling tube does not have a hole to insert a screw. The bottom of the jib sail does have a grommet. About three fourths of an inch up from the bottom of the furling tube there is a disc of about four and a half inch diameter with two holes in it. One hole is about five eights inch diameter and the other hole is about three sixteenths inch diameter. I don't understand how the bottom of the jib is to be attached and I also don't know the purpose of the holes in the disc at the bottom of the furling tube. I can send photographs to clarify. A photo or explanation of this set up will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jim not available not availableSee the original archive post
