Thanks Jay.  Based on your memory, what impact do you think it not being
installed will cause?  Does it stop the entire furling tube (and sail) from
lowering too fall when lowered (which I don't do too often), or does it
somehow stop the unfurling or furling of the sail?  If it's the latter, I
didn't notice any issues furling or unfurling yesterday and I was watching
for issues after seeing the part fall out.  Thanks again.
