[Rhodes22-list] Alternate roller furling choices

[Jim White]

Hi folks:
  I've been quiet for awhile for a couple of reasons. I succombed to "bigger boat fever", and recently acquired a vintage, very rare Westerly Centaur Ketch (photo attached) "Olivia". Totally refit, she's a real gem, and I delivered her from Rockport Texas this past three day weekend in winds up to 50mph...we took a real shellacing, but made it down here in 30 hours, averaging about 5.5 mph SOG. We arrived late Sunday night, totally french fried
   
  I am going to haul Le Menagerie this week and work on her, do some interior work and change out the sails. I scored a 175 genny with a wire luff ment for a standard roller furling, and want to buy one, but would like ya'lls opinion (those of you who use them) about the most reliable/best value ease of installation, that sort of thing. I know we've been around that block before, but hope you will have patience and re-address this.
   
  Cheers,
  jw
