[Rhodes22-list] CDI furler

[Wally Buck]

I realize the Harken costs more but if you really want the best furler for 
easy sail changes the Harken can't be beat. You raise, lower, and tension 
sails with a halyard just like you would with a hank on. For trailering you 
need to support the drum but it is not a big deal. I use my spinnaker pole 
to extend the mast.
