In Mast Furling

[Mpricer]

Hello, Just purchased a 1983 Pearson 422 Hull #15. It has what I think is an original in mast furling system. I'm trying to identify what system it is, however any ID markings on the mast have long warn off and I can't see any nomenclature for the furler. I have no documentation that describes either the mast or the furling system. Only some reference to an available upgrade to a Hood in mast system in an old sales brochure I found in one of my doc's. I'm having trouble with the system and need to rebuild the bearings. Had a rigger look at the system, he thought it was a Hyde in mast system, others have said Hood Hideaway, Not sure. Any help would be great.

Any chance of some photos, otherwise not sure how we can help you?

I will get some Pictures and see if I can figure out how to upload them here. Thanks!

Most likely Hood. Some of the Pearson kids still work for Hood in Newport.

Doesn't look at all like my Hood furler which is of similar vintage.
