Hi all, the Dufour 2800 sailing boat I’ve purchased comes with a in mast furling system. i’ve no experience of using one nor even of bending on the sail and running the lines correctly. The lines, halyards, outhaul and reefing lines are removed and replaced with mouses (mice). The blocks, sheets, slidey things are all present but need assembling. The previous owner passed away 4 years ago so I’ve no one to ask for help.
I believed the mast was replaced in 2012 but I’ve just heard from Selden and they confitm although the mast is theirs the furling system iisn’t theirs. ’d like to identify which make/model it is so I can try to find a user manual for it. I’m not on the boat until next week and only have a single photo of the reefing gear at the base of the mast plus another of the boat sailing with the original owner at the helm.
Any help identifying the system fro so few clues would be really appreciated.
