Has anyone installed a CDI Flexible Furler on a 26.5 Hunter? With the forestay turnbuckle below deck, will the arrangement force the furler drum below the deck? Will the Flexible furler work considering the 26.5 forestay setup?

Not sure if the CDI will work for that...

I was wondering the same thing last year and did some checking on different furlers for the 26.5 From what I can tell, the boat is designed for a furler model that has been dis-continued. I think it was designed for a Shaeffer furler but I am not positive on the manufacturer. I think I am going to go with the Pro-Furl R25 on my boat as the foil lengths will work and I like the available features. You may just be forced to live with the drum at the deck and not under the deck unless you can find a drum that will not only fit through the hole, but not cause interference when the headstay is attached. Good Luck, Clayton H26.5 s/v Walkabout
