[Rhodes22-list] Headsail furlers.

[Mark Kaynor]

Rummy,

Raven has the CDI FF2 w/o ball bearings. It's worked fine for us since we've
owned her.  We've gotten sail changes down to about 5 minutes at the dock,
including folding the other sail.

I don't know what the cost differential is, but unless it's not much, I
don't think you really need the ball bearings on a rig as small as the
Rhodes - ours furls just fine. Maintenance is simple - rinse occasionally w/
fresh water.

Mark

After fifteen years of trouble free service, it is now time to replace my
GBI
furler. I am looking for any recommendations/comments/things to stay away
from from list members. Also looking for good places to purchase.

Rummy
