[Rhodes22-list] Headsail Furler Cable broke

[Peter Nyberg]

Bob,

I'm not sure what you've got there.  It doesn't look like a CDI furler. 

There's been another recent thread about a broken forestay with the subject line of 'CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top?'.  Looking through that may provide some insight.

I made a YouTube video about my experience with a broken forestay, which you can find here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbKIYYFU73s&t=5s . My furler is a CDI, so at least some of the video won't be relevant for you.

Have you tried contacting General Boats?  How about a local rigging company?
