[quote=Edchris177]You have everything for furling the jib. Installing the swivel & drum will take care of 6” you are “missing” on the forestay.
Someone swapped the rear beam, what you have is better than the original.
The jib halyard was originally part wire, part line. It went from a small wire block hung on the mast, (just below the main hound), down the mast - to where you cleated it after tensioning the jib.
Once you install the roller furling, you do not use that system. The factory Nacra halyard is zippered. Goes from the jib head up to a small turning block, then back down inside the jib, (parallel to the forestay), & exits at the bottom of the jib, just above the drum.
I installed a small Clam cleat there, I just pull the desired tension, cleat, & go sailing.
I made this album years ago, it might help you.
There are many tweaks to skin that Cat, set it up what works for you.
