Roller Furler on the O'Day 272

[Shep21410]

I sail a 1987 O'Day 272. Recently, the plastic piece attached to the furler's haylard broke(it attaches to the jib head and runs up inside the furler to raise the jib. I have no idea who manufactured the roller furler used on the 272. Can anyone help me with this information?Thanks Gary Shepard

CDI Furler FF6

The same thing happened to my 1986 272, which has a FF 6 furler. I ended up calling CDI at 978-371-5508, and purchased a new jib halyard for about $60. I got the new revised one with a ferrule to replace the traveler. For me the hardest part was getting the jib head end of the halyard down. I had to get the marina and they used a man lift.
