Re: Stus-List Furler system

I installed a Selden Furlex unit on my C 27 Mk I with no prior experience. The package back then included a new head stay which was metric in both the cable and pin size. Mast stayed up during the install. I had an engineer friend check my measurements before I cut anything. After Katrina, my

Re: Stus-List Furler system

If you are reasonably handy then you can install it. Best to drop the mast, but it can be done mast up if you can keep the forestay. And keeping the forestay will depend on what furler you go with, I've got a Harken cruising unit #1, had to change the forestay when I installed it. I'd go

Re: Stus-List Furler system

Curtis, My buddy and I professionally install and repair furlers. We've worked on many brands. IMHO, the best of the lot is Harken. ProFurls are good also. Yes, you can install it yourself. It's not rocket science. However, I wouldn't recommend it. There are a few things to watch out for

Re: Stus-List Furler system

Curtis, I installed a Furlex 200s on my last boat. The rigger/sail maker that sold it to me evidently was not supposed to allow me to install it myself. I think that for the same price he would have done the work. I just like DIY. The 200s is their smallest furler and would probably be

Re: Stus-List Furler system

Congrats! My 2 cents: 15 - 25 year old sails are shot. I don't know what your wind conditions are like, but I would buy a Harken furler and a good Dacron sail that covers most of your wind conditions.Partially furled sails are not great upwind, but are fine for cruising. It will cost several

I have mostly light winds here in Beaufort SC. So out to 150% or at least a 135% would be best. But, Can I install it? do I keep my forstay? On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 9:11 PM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Congrats! > My 2 cents: > > 15 - 25 year old sails are shot.
