How do I adjust the
> length of the forestay with the CDI roller furler

There is a turnbuckle inside the drum of the furler you can adjust. However
dont adjust it more than about 1/2 way down on each side and put a little
cotter pin in the hole at both ends of the screw. I had mine adjusted to far
out and no cotter pin which caused the mast to come crashing down. I ended
up putting mine on the end of a a bow sprit and lowering it a bit on the
mast. right where the jib halyard was.
Works great in this position. I already had a bow sprit from the previous
owner so decided to use it. If you cant adjust the turnbuckle out far enough
you might have to lower the connection on the mast end a little bit.
