I will be taking my mast off in the near future for an unrelated reason and my rigging is 2018 installed before I bought the boat. I was thinking however that I might get the rigger to replace the forestay lower terminal with a sta- lock but as it is buried inside the furler I'm not sure whether a proprietary Profurl item must be ordered or whether a Sta-lok can be made to fit the furler. Presumably it's only a grub screw attaching the furler bearing housing to the terminal I would imagine however that Sta- loks are a bit fatter than a simple swage.

Anyone happen to know the answer?

Sure how to interpret the attached drawings from the Profurl manual.

Turns out after a bit more Googling that was a stupid question. I should have put my glasses on earlier because the unit comes standard with Sta- lok fittings.

Kind of embarrassed that I can't delete this post as this site doesn't allow deletion after an hour or so. At least the result suits what I want to do with my mast :-).
