Works but took a long time to open.

With the furler doing what its doing, I'm having a hard time figuring out what the other lines to the pulpit are. Of course I'm not a furler dude, nor do I have a C-28, so what am I talking about!?! Either way, that would make for a bad day.

I was able to right-click and open it separately... The mast looks like it's canted aft, and the furler is being held only by the furling line (with some of the forestay dangling out of the drum), and something else (both ends of a halyard made to a bow cleat?) is holding the mast up. Both jib sheets are blown.

After I right-clicked the little box and opened the image separately, now I can see it immediately in Frank's post when I access this thread. I can't explain that...

I think the "lines to the pulpit" might actually be going to the starboard bow cleat--a makeshift forestay using one or both halyards.

Looks to me like the only thing holding the mast up is the forward lowers and the uppers. The mast does appear to be canted aft. The lines to the pulpit look slightly loose to me as does the backstay and at least the aft lower on the port side.
