Even with the ball bearing I sometimes need to use a winch. Bacon's in the should have the ball bearing option in stock. ~Dan Hardiman --- On Fri, 5/14/10, John Wilson <j...@rockhallcanvas .com> wrote: From: John Wilson <j...@rockhallcanvas .com> Subject: Re: [IC27A] Inexpensive Roller Furling system To: ic...@yahoogroups. com Date: Friday, May 14, 2010, 10:53 AM Well I'm sold on the Ball Barring option. Now that I think of it, that first time the wind really kicks up, I'm sure I'll be glad I got it. Thanks for all the input. Also, what is the Mainstay length for a 1976 Std. rig?

Wind was probably 15 - 20. Didn't know it at the time but had the CDI roller furler. After sail with 150 genoa tried to roll it up. One guy coudn't do it. Broker and I heaved with all we had and couldn't roll in finally had to use winch. Back at dock I suggested we needed to "oil" assy to free it up. Broker agreed...... ....Finally when found out what I had called CDI and ordered the ball bearing assy. Installed it and life much easier after that. Get the assy. At that time - nine years ago - was hundred bucks. Otherwise you are rolling the thing up on a hockey puck.

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.

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. Andy Dalzell C-27 # 6298, Tardis Sandusky Bay The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
