[C320-list] in boom furling

Check out the new Lewmar E series electric winch, chrome (over bronze), size 34 for about $1,875 at PYacht.com (plus about $400 to install).  Note that #34 and #40 are same physical size, only difference is 2nd-gear ratios, which are not powered, and you save $$$ with the #34.

Rollie,Russ,Karl & Pat,  I went with Forespar's liesure furl. Yes,  you do 
need a new main and it should be from someone who has made the sail  before and 
has worked with the rigger before. Forespar has instructions for  both. Mine 
has 5 full battens and is a very flat sail.  List cost is  $5,000,  and I got 
mine installed for that. (plus cost of sail).  I  used my factory rigid vang, 
just had to change to the stronger red springs to  suport the heavier boom, 
(factory springs are yellow).  My system all came  from a local S.F. Bay rigger 
who had many references.  Changing out the  goose neck takes a professional. I 
have had it for one full season now and am  happy with it. It does make for 
some longer winching the sail up and also you  have to winch the sail down. A 
electric winch would help. Maybe later for  me.
  Hope this helps,   Paul,  Sobrante  #850
