Bill,

My plan is to attach a small block at the location that the head of the second sail would be normally attached to and the second small block at the location where the tack of that sail is normally secured. The continuous halyard will be looped through those two blocks. Unless I am missing something, both of those attachment points rotate with the foil, otherwise the sail itself would be wrapped. When the sails are rolled, the halyard will be buried under the sail. I believe that the Ballooner that I have is a fair amount shorter than the hoist available so I should have room for the blocks and for tensioning. If for some reason this solution does not work out, I want to look into the cost of upgrading the furling system with a new foil and add the locking device. I am cutting the trailing tails off of my posts but leaving the one immediately preceding to help with context. If that is a problem, someone let me know.
