I like this suggestion, I always worry about keeping the foil straight. One trick that a lot of people around here use is to get a few packages of kitchen plastic wrap and use it to wrap around the mast, lines and foil along the length of the mast. It’s surprisingly good protection and very cheap and easy to use.

I’m having the mast pulled to do some work. I’ve never pulled the mast with the furling drum. I was wondering if the drum stays attached to the forestay, remains on the bow or is completely removed. Appreciate any responses. Thanks Brian C.
