[Rhodes22-list] Furlers - CDI or GB

[Robert Quinn]

Julie:  You have gotten all the right advice from the pros.  We have the GBI
furler on our '86.  It has been, as Rummy says, "bullet proof" for the ten
years that we have owned the boat.  Oh, and we sail pretty near every
weekend both Saturday and Sunday.

When we get our recycled Rhodes, we have the option of either getting the
CDI furler or the one created by General Boats. I'd like to get some
feedback from those of you on the list who have experience with either or
both. We will be trailering the boat frequently and both Elton and Stan have
indicated that the GB one is easier to tie down but that it will not allow
you to change sails with the mast up - at this point that is not a big issue
because we will only have one genoa (175%).

Are there other pros/cons for either?
Repair/maintenance issues?
Ease of rigging?

Thanks in advance for your advice,
Julie Thorndycraft
