Reefaway mainsail furling

Any one out there know about the Metalmast reefaway in mast mainsail furling system that is on my new to me cd 300 ms? Specifically rig tensioning, potential reefing problems, and actually any information about that system since they apparently do no longer exist. Thanks in advance. Stephen

Re: CD36 cabinet above the sink

I have done what you are thinking of...the above sink cabinet and the enclosure of our port side shelving. I will try to remember to take some photos as you will find them interesting no doubt. I made matching doors for both projects. Regards, Stephen s/v Namaste 36 ' cape dory cutter

Re: cape dory 36 fuel tank

Re: cape dory 36 fuel tank

Interestingly, Florida tank identified this tank based on the model number which is still on a sticker on the top of the tank as a 53 gallon tank(Model # 53 cd 53). I am confused about that difference, but ...
