[Rhodes22-list] 175% roller furling genoa

[Mary Lou Troy]

If I can remember correctly from our research when we were looking at 
furlers the only mark against the CDI was that it was a bit more 
cumbersome to switch sails - something about the use of a messenger 
line with the internal halyard.  Can't remember if it was the same 
issue removing the sail. I know at the time we were looking to be 
able to switch sails, the Schaefer seemed more straightforward. If 
you don't change sails that's not an issue. I dont know of anyone 
with a CDI who has complaints about how it functions.
