FWIW, the two years I sailed my P19 on the Potomac river, as well as few weeks on Long Island Sound, the factor CDI furler never failed in any way. I should mention I went out in pretty blustery stuff...gusts over 25...and when I furled the lapper on my boat, it always worked smoothly.

Also the CDI is flexible..a must for trailer sailing.
