With much talk recently of the merits of a furling headsail, I have decided
to bite the bullet, install a new furler and have a new sail made for my 26.
Someone mentioned that they were quite pleased with their Superfurl. I seem
to get a different answer from each person I ask this question:
What is the best choice for a furler on a small boat?

Allen: As you note, there are many different systems out there. My
guidelines for buying this type of item are:
1. Buy the best I can afford as it will likely provide the best service.
2. Buy a well known brand as that generally means it works well, is well
supported, and will add to the perceived value of the boat for a future
purchaser.
3. Buy the size recommended by the manufacturer for the boat.
4. Replace any dubious hardware on the boat that will be associated with the
new purchase. For a furler, replace the headstay and fittings if at all
questionable.
Given the above, I?d buy a Harken. I have installed several on your size
boat and have had no complaints.

I think that two options come to mind: Furlex and Harken. Of the two, i
would buy the one that i could get at a better price. No question, follow
manufacturer's recommendations regarding the model (size). Unless you have a
fairly new stay, i would replace it, as you don't want to do it once the
furler is installed.

Allen,
I have a C&C 26.
I?ve had the boat about 12 years and it came with a Profurl furler.
I don?t know how old the furler was when I bought the boat but it?s still
going strong.
A couple of seasons ago I replaced all the standing rigging including the
forestay.
Because that meant I would have to disassemble the furler, I replaced all
the plastic bearings inside the foil. The furler came apart easily and went
together fine too. All I needed were a bunch of plastic bearings. (And I
don?t think it was really necessary to replace them - but I had it apart?)
Having said that, Rich gives good advice about Harken. They make good kit
and you can?t really go wrong with their equipment.

Allen,
I see you?re thinking of a new sail too.
If your old, hank on sail is in good condition you might want to consider
having a luff tape installed on that.
But, if you?ve got the money, the best investment (by far) for your sailboat
is new sails.
I bought a new set of sails a few years after I bought the 26. I didn?t
think the old sails were that bad, but I was wrong. With new sails it was a
different boat. The 26 is a bit tender anyway, but with new sails she stood
right up; pointed better; went faster!
I?ve since bought a laminate 135% and that is even better.
(off topic - the next best investment is self tailers)
