In Response To: stemhead fitting on CM 32------WebKitFormBoundarybBHnnBHZHYnP8+vx (Dick------WebKitFormBoundarybBHnnBHZHYnP8+vx)

There is a piece of stainless strap that is tied to the bow and comes up under the stemhead fitting. I'd make sure that you had a good backing plate on the fitting, maybe cut in a triangular shape and fit up under the deck in the bow. There's a bunch of pull created from the furler and the wind on the jib, so I'd over-build if possible. BTW - what kind of roller furling?
