It being a few years ago now, I don't recall the exact unit that I have. (I have the manual on board, so I can look it up next time I make it out to the boat). I bought the headsail together with the roller system and had it installed by the sailmaker, so everything works well together. I'm still happy with it, although it may be time to do some minor maintenance (lubrication, retensioning of the forestay, those kinds of things.) I can't say for sure what my minimum tacking angle is - under ideal conditions (winds around 12 knots, calm sea, no currents) I've gotten at least close to 90 degrees, but under less ideal conditions it's certainly more.
