Replacing furler on a Legend 37.5

Hi all,

I recently bought a 1992 Legend 37.5 that has a rolling headsail furler with a continuous loop installed. I find the thing pretty impractical, since to unfurl I need to both make sure the furling line runs freely and get the jib sheet out. So, I'm thinking of replacing the furler with something a bit more modern. Could anybody give advice on what furler to get?

Thanks!

Wouter

I love the MKIV Furling System I had installed this winter. Out with it in 17-20 knots and it was evident why it is a keeper. Easy to furl. Smooth. No line overrides or line jams in the drum. Just a smooth rolled up sail from top to bottom and on to other business. Easy to unfurl the sail as well. Pull the jib sheets and control the amount of release with the single furling line.
I am glad I listened to my rigger, Bob Doyle in Everett WA.
