I put a new furler on Enterprise a year ago. I had Harkens on my two previous
boats.
I went with Pro furler on Enterprise. I got a new head sail at the same time
and the sail loft is a Pro furler dealer. My thinking was they would do it all
and ensure the sail worked with the furler.
they did a great job installing. there was a significant cost saving too.
But, I do think the Harken worked better. I find if the tension on the forestay
is not just right, the Pro furler is very hard to furl.

I'm sure there is loads of experience on roller furlers out there...can you
share some of it? I have a 1981 C&C 34 with a track on the forestay.
I am considering replacing this with a roller furler I'd like to be able to
install myself, and I'd like to keep the existing forestay as it's rod and I'd
rather not have to disturb it by shortening it as some of the systems require.
I'd also like not to have to change it to wire (at least one furler
manufacturer claims their system is not compatible with rod rigging).
Profurl seems a possibility, Harken would need to shorten the stay.
Any comments would be appreciated!
