I'm a newby that needs help to identify and repair/replace my roller furler. I'm not sure of the correct component names, so bear with me. This is my first boat and I have yet to sail it. I keep it at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron. The mast is unstepped.First, the black plastic reel(?) has most of the Mfgs. name worn off. It does have 3 SS rectangular fingers around it, the 4th is longer with a fairlead(?) for the furling line.The Foil(?) is several(5 or so) aluminum sections joined by plastic(?) splines that are H shaped in cross section, which are all broke.A line runs up to the top and back down in a slot in the foil to nearly the bottom. At it's end is a bonded plastic slug with a tab and hole for attaching a short line running to a cleat above the reel/spool.I would like to replace the line with the bonded tab, dig out and replace the splines, and any other maintenance suggested.Questions: What brand is it? Is repair feasible or should I replace it? Any suggested replacement furlers?Thanks and fair winds,Sid
