Agreed. I put a CDI on my tall rig and have been very happy with the performance and value. It took two of us to install it but it was pretty easy to do. I can't remember where I bought it but a web search will help you compare prices.

I bought mine from Bacons in Annapolis for about $600 a few years ago. ~Dan --- On Tue, 5/4/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [IC27A] Inexpensive Roller Furling system To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, May 4, 2010, 9:09 AM I replaced my factory original roller furling with one from Cruising Design. It was relatively simple to install by following the accompanying instructions. It has worked flawlessly for the 14 years. It is one of the lower cost systems available. My boat is a tall rig made in 1986 and I do primarily day sailing on Lake Erie.
