RER: doughnut on the mizzen furler. Sundance # 349 did the sane. All fixes failed until We taped a screw through the aluminum into the doughnut. Never happened again. Murray Seidel

I always have to push it back in before/after furling/unfurling my mizzen. Not a major problem but annoying nonetheless. I asked the Amel guys in Guadeloupe to fix this, which I think they tried by using glue of some sort. But it came loose after a couple of weeks. Has anyone else has this problem? Is there a good fix?

Duh, of course. I wonder why Henri didn't think of that?
