Reacher Fairlead


Here's the furler at the front of the bowsprit. Picked up a half-twist shackle to replace the straight shackle the boat came with. This should reduce the friction when deploying the reacher (not that it had much to begin with), but more importantly, it should keep the furling line straight so it doesn't bunch up in the furling drum.

The weather has SUCKED here lately so not much amphibious activity (high bacterial count from the high rainwater runoff).
