Here is a link to an ad I've posted on Craigslist recently. The boat
is located in a storage building in central Ohio.
My wife Linda and I had been long-time subscribers to the list but
dropped off several years ago, so I apologize for being unaware of the
proper procedure for posting a boat for sale. At any rate, we've
simply realized we're no longer using our boat enough to justify
keeping it; it's time for someone else to enjoy it.

	Sorry--I am going to try this again--the link and message were a bit
garbled.

There we were, having a lovely autumnal sail on Lake Champlain when the black composite  box that slides at the bottom of the mast and connects to the boom, decided to pop out. It was interesting getting the sail back in the mast but we managed it without too much drama.
However, now I have to figure out why the black slider separated from the mast. 
Hopefully I do not have to drop the mast to get in there?
If there is a diagram of the bottom of the IMF system, that would be very helpful.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I presume it might be in the fabled archives but I am not sure how to access them!
Cheers

Graham, I hope this helps. Does not seem to be much holding it all together.
This is the backside view. The white block is the bottom that supports the
sail.

Graham,

Unfortunately it looks like you need to lower the mast.

Graham, I haven't had the entire unit come out. The strangest thing that I
had with the Starboard material was one of  the doughnut spacers that helps
hold the furling pole in place,was broken into 3 pieces. I say strange
because it really just acts as a spacer with very little stress. General
Boats , at the time, would only sell the entire unit and not individual
pieces. I just finished replacing all of the parts that make up the
universal joint connecting the boom to the mast. The mast needed to be
dropped in order to replace all of the parts.  See if a sailor's friends
duct tape and zip ties will let you finish the season.

Cary,

Peter must be on vacation.

Peter has a video showing how to replace the mainsail furling line on his
YouTube channel; s/v Silverheels.

I think this is the part you are talking about, and yes, you will likely
have to lower the mast.

While in the video he does not disassemble the unit into parts, you can get
a good idea of how it is constructed.

I hope it's ok with Peter, and that the link will embed. If not, he has it
labeled as episode #25.

I hope this helps.
