A few weeks ago someone posted a reference to an inexpensive roller furling
system in the Defender Marine Outfitter catalog (Barton #B42335 on page
326). I've studied the catalog and done what I think is a pretty extensive
search on the web but I'm still looking for a good description (and pictures
would be nice) of how it works. How to rig and use it. Do many of you with
P19s have roller furling on your headsails? What do you think of them? Is
it worth the cost? (both $ and rigging/unrigging trouble)
As always, thanks for your thoughts and advice.
