Curious Judy et All
When I installed the CDI furler last year I just removed the forestay and
installed the furler in its place. However I had to remove the Jib Halyard
pulley and eye strap since they prevented the furler top fitting from turning
freely. I just left the rivets holes as they were. By the way I put pictures of
my setup on my web page.
I could not figure out where or how to put tracks so I came up with that
solution so you might say it is convenience but since I can move it back and
forth as I furl the genny it keeps the jib sheet at the right angle so you
might also say it is for performance; although I am not one of those speed
freaks: as long as the boat moves in the water and I can make it go where I
want I am happy.
I got both the furler, the genoa and the sail cover from IM. I thought of
getting the furler from CDI and the genoa from Sailrite but time was a factor
and this way everything fit together.
Genoa (with CDI Luff) 242
CDI Roller Furler (with forestay and
all fittings) 495

Total cost 737
