    Hunter 33.5 Roller Furling

    Can anyone tell me what roller furling was installed on a 1993 Hunter 33.5? Do you know of any documentation or can you tell me how the furler attaches in the anchor well of this boat? There are two rods in the anchor well that the furler can/should be attached to but my boatyard mechanic...

    Snapfurf Furling System CF-700

    I have a Schock Harbor 25 with a CF 700 furling system. There is a very thin line that runs from the furling drum and is attached to the anchor roller. This prevents me from laying the anchor rode into the roller. I am not clear why this line is there or what it is for? I have a photo attached...

    Jib Halyard Swivel problem?

    Recently my jib fuller has been acting up, making it extremely difficult to furl the jib - like it is binding. I’ve found the only way it will furl effectively is to release the clutch on the jib halyard, allowing the jib to lower a couple inches - I can then typically furl it in. After a...

    Hunter 260 Forestay Tension with Furler

    I have a 2002 Hunter 260, and I have sailed it for one season. Since it sits on a single lake all season, I have really only rigged it myself once. The previous owner did take the time, however, to show me how to rig it and that was very helpful. It has a roller furling jib, which I quite...

    CDI furler modification

    CDI furler modification My Mac26S came with a CDI furler that must be the clumsiest furler ever designed. Has anyone tried to modify the furler with a top sheave and a halyard that runs outside the foil? I’m tired of risking a heart attack every time I want to change my head sail.

    Furler Model - Luff Tape Size

    Hunter Cherubini 37.5, 1980. Had a 2nd hand Harken (series L300?) unit installed, have to get new rope bolt sewn to jib (old one too big @ 1/4" apx.). Smallish foil slot .103 inch wide. What size for the rope bolt? Looks like #6 would work, want to be sure @ $12.00 a foot charges to change it...

    Jib sock

    I am refreshing an old O'day Javelin. It has a jib furler (Harken) so the jib stays on the forestay when docked or moored between sailings - you don't use the jib halyard, the sail has a wire built into the luff , and the wire acts as a forestay, fastened to the roller at the stem. I think I...

    Will this head sail work on my Hunter 30?

    Noob here. Had a nasty tear in in our furling 135 genoa. Had it repaired, but it needs to go. Found an amazing deal on a brand new 135 genoa that was the original sail for a Hunter 27. The 'I' measurement is 2ft different, and I don't know if that's a deal breaker or not. Thoughts? Thanks for...

    Furler Line Replacement Catalina 36

    I need to replace 3/8" furler line on my 2000 Catalina 36 with CDI single line furler. What is the correct length? What brand line did you use and why? Thanks. Peter

    Furling Foresail

    I have a 1984 O’Day 28 with a jib furler. It seems a bit odd to my repair shop and to me in that the furling spoil is not directly on the bow. Rather, it is some 12 – 18 inches higher and connected with 2 flat metal extension pieces (with holes). See the photo. The nice thing about this is...

    272 furler issue

    Flexible Furler has become extremely difficult to furl and unfurl. Lubricated with white lithuim spray. Ok for a while but getting progressively worse. Suggestions other than a new furler? Jim

    New top peice for furling drum?

    Hey everybody, about three months ago, I bought a 1990 Macgregor 26s, and the furler drum needs a new top plastic peice in order for it to properly function. The furler is a CDI Flexible Headsail Furler FF2. So far I have only been able to find the entire furler for sale, but I just need that...
