I have replaced the rotted deck, awgriped the hull and painted her deck. Initially I was going to continue to sail with the hanked on jib. Now that the deck is repainted, the stem piece rechromed I am concerned that the flopping around of the jib as I take it off and on will damage the newly painted deck and wear off the new chrome job on my stem piece. Is my concern well founded?

What are the current recommendations for a furler? Which one, price and how long it will take to install?

Thank you.

PS hope to have photos up in next two weeks
