I am not following you with the jib downhaul and furling with the loss of a pin?
(i assume you really mean the jib forestay, since on most (older) beachcat's there is no adjustable jib downhaul)

Referring only to the downhaul. Sorry I don't have a personal picture handy. It's a Murrays furling kit.

The top of the furler is pinned directly to the forestay. No shackle, no adjusters. The downhaul line passes under the pin and goes back up to the sail jam cleat. Then it gets wrapped a couple times and secured.
As my sail twists around, while tacking or furling, the lines can rub this area and that may have been what worked the untaped ring loose.
Certainly, it was forgetfulness! Right? :lol:[/quote]
