Peter,
It looks like there's a block for an external halyard being held out of the way
in the pic. I'd have a better idea if I'd climbed the rig myself but is it
possible that this block rubbed the damage on the extrusion? Although not to
the degree I see in your pic, Touche's masthead had a similar issue and result.
I'm sending you pics off list to illustrate.
Dennis C.

it once while alongside the 1st time I put the genoa up .... but the rigger
figured that was a pretty old damage to the foil. I suspect it’s been wearing
on
/ catching the forestay over time. My wire halyards don’t look too good either
.... the jib halyard has a definite cork screw to it – so I’ll be replacing
those as well.

inspect for a broken strand (or two).

>>>If you are replacing the forestay, you can do this
when you drop the unit for that. I'm assuming you're replacing it with
another swaged forestay or are you using a Norseman or NavTec compression
fitting? If a swaged eye, then you will have to disassemble the furler
completely. If you are going that way, just upgrade to the
MKIV.
