[C320-list] Replacement Furling System

[Bill Culbertson]

 David,
Do you happen to know how old one's boat needs to be to have this original Schaefer 2100?  I assume "newer" boats started shipping with the updated 2100 once Schaefer started making it.  It would be great if we could figure out a hull number range at which the switch over occurred

 The original Schaefer 2100 had no wash out holes in the drum, so dirt and salt would accumulate, without any way of cleaning it out. This led to bearing failure, making it very tough to furl. Schaefer will replace those drums with one that has wash out holes for fairly low $ (around $100, I think). Just contact them if you have their furler.
