1986 Catalina 22- jib furler question

[derfxa]

Recently acquired a 1986 C-22 on trailer with rigging apart. Got everything figured out except furling jib assembly. There's no furler spool line. How long and thick and where/how does the furler spool line lead towards aft. Also the I'm missing the forestay torque bearings that fit between the luff extrusion segments (need source for replacements- CDI Micro Reefer Spool, manufacturer no longer has replacement parts)... Thanks, Fred

3/16" braided line 26' long will be fine for your furler line. You should have some kind of blocks on the starboard or port side of your boat probably located on your life line stands to lead it aft. Also you should have a dedicated cleat some place aft in the thingypit to tie it off. Call CDI and see what they recommend for the forestay torque bearing replacements
