I guess I should say first that no, I don't have any time with these, but I have been researching them, and want one.
I got one recommendation from a friend in Newport who liked the Karver. A neighbor tried a Harken some years back, but said it didn't work too good - But that was before they changed to the SS Braid over the torsion cable, which seems to be what either make these work well of not. You also need to get some space out in front of your headstay. The more, the better. If I do it, it will be on a reinforced bow roller. At this point I am still saving my pennies, as these are not a cheap date. Nothing can ruin your day like a bad experience with a spinnaker, and I have had a few.

Our neighbor just installed a Harken top-down furler with a nice code zero and it looks awesome! He is single-handing his 43' Hans Christian cutter/ketch with ease. Does anyone have experience with these sorts of systems? Lots of manufacturers out there... Thanks Patrick & Kari Gateley 1988 C&C 44' "Odessa"
