Alado Furler

[arf145]

I'm looking for firsthand experience, of any kind, with the Alado furler. I'm very cost sensitive right now and it looks like a decent option from what I've read. One concern I have is the behavior of that halyard alongside of the foil. Any noise or flogging? Other issues? Performance when reefing?

Thanks!

I installed one this year and it works very easy. There is no noise from the halyard that runs along the side of the foil when sailing. I have reef a number of times and had no problum with the performance. But we weren't racing eather.

I would buy the Alado Furler again.

I put one on a 84 Catalina 30, Worked great.

I installed one on our old boat, a C&C 24. I loved the unit and would highly recommend it.
