Well I for one am jealous, and so is my boat! (First winter out in six years...)

Furling line probably depends on the exact type and size of furler that you have. My Furlex uses 5/16 yacht braid. (Well, probably 8 mm.) On decommissioning, I noticed some chafe in the portion of line that usually stays on the drum... I'll have to think about that. Since failure of that particular line can be particularly catastrophic, it may be a good idea to replace it at regular intervals. Or maybe whenever one replaces the jib sheets? My spinnaker pole topping lift parted on the last cruise of the year - guess I'm replacing all running rigging in the spring. $Cha-$Ching!
