      I’m sure it’s been replaced but will verify with others. I don’t recall
      see any option for in-mast furling on the original paperwork.

      Hi
      I am thinking about making and offer on a 424 located on the Great Lakes.
      This boat is Sloop Rigged with in Mast furling. The boat is a 1980 and
      I was wondering if this was available from the factory or if the Rig
      has been replaced. If the rig is newer I may affect my offer.

      Thanks

      It may have been factory installed as a special order. At the time our
      boats were built Hood Systems was the principal supplier of in-mast furlers
      in the US and they were located next door to the Pearson plant in
      Portsmouth, RI. So it wouldn’t have been a big deal to have spec’d a Hood
      system for a 424 Sloop.

      Morning Glory, a ’79 424 and Painkiller an ’80 model both came from the Pearson yard with in mast furling. Earl Chappell, who owns Painkiller, has the original sales receipt and it reflects a cost of $20 something thousand for a manual in mast furling system.An electrical version was also available.
