Installing Roller Furling

[vincejg327]

The H27 I am looking at does not come with a roller furling on the head sail. What mfg. would you recommend. Also, anyone who has done this I would love to hear from you on how it went. Was it a good DIY or should I give it to a rigger?

Happy Sailing!

I used CDI on my 1984 Hunter 25.5. It was easy. The hardest part was to straighten the foil. It was a very hard plastic tubing that was wrapped into a 4' ring. It must be removed from the box and placed in the sun for a few days and place heavy bricks to make it straight. It needed to be cut - use a hack saw. I never had any problem with its bearings either. This is not a high end equipment but it is reliable.
