[Richard A. Walker]

The Schaefer 2100 on my boat is fine, no maintenance.

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
