[Rhodes22-list] GBI Furler available and photos Re: GB Furler Picturers and Parts

[Mary Lou Troy]

I will add that this GBI furler, while it looks different from Ken's, is 
complete. There were several variations of the furler before GB went to 
the CDI furler. The GB furler was bulletproof. I expect the only reason 
a switch was made was either difficulty getting the extrusion or because 
of customer demand for a furler that would allow you to remove the 
headsail without lowering the mast.
