[C320-list] Replacing old Hood Jib Furler

[bruceheyman at cox.net]

Rollie,
Practical Sailor did a nice overview on furlers last year, was a good read.  Hood offers 50% discount on tade in.  If I had kept the Sabre I would have gone with the Seafurl V.  Would have cost about $1100 including new forestay and fittings.

The leading choices seem to be Schaefer at about $3,200 or the new Harkin
system with a simplified drum and turnbuckle system at about $2000 -- both
plus installation.
Does anyone have experience with the new Harkin system or other input?

Thanks, Rollie  #182
