Gary,
The best I have seen come from Skip Shorb. He was a short time member of this
list some years ago.
He has a different way of making them, the furl is the tight and slightly
different that most furles I have seen. He will be doing a demo at the Sowbug.
I hope you will make it in 2004.
I am sure that he would answer any questions you might have about furled
leaders. He even makes sinking furled leaders.
I am also sending this message to him.
I am sure he will contact you.
