I'm assuming the 32 is a keel stepped mast, as the 35-3 is. In which
case - don't stress about disconnecting the forestay. Absolutely use a
halyard in place of it, with lots of tension, but it will stay up. I
swapped out my forestay and furler with the mast up, no problems. I did
loosen the backstay but did not play with the shrouds.

Hi All,
I have an ultrafurl 500, no doubt many C&Cs of this vintage have the
same. I am having some trouble with it (sticking) and Heider from
Ultrafurl (I believe he's the guy that designed these things) sent
along the installation instructions as a guide on how to disassemble
for a look. Well, it seems I can get the drum disconnected and raised
up the forestay without disconnecting the forestay but if I want to
remove it for a clean I will have to disconnect and use a halyard for
backup. I've done this with the shrouds but there are two of those! I
have two headsail halyards so I'm thinking to use both, attached to
either the stem fitting or the toe rail and then tensioned pretty
tight. Should I be loosening the tension on the rest of the rig when I
do this?
Any tips or warnings?
Thanks,
Steve
