Roller Furling
Michelle, I have an 1983 O'Day 23. This is the first boat that I have had a furling unit on ......... its a God's send ! All my previous boats I have had to go forward and take the headsail down on the foredeck and fold it so the wind didn't catch it, while inbound to the dock(not always sucessfull !). I was always worried about a furling unit getting jammed and then your reaaly stuck with 155% of canvas out and trying to dock !! But, I must admit that I was wrong and my furling unit lessens the work load. As far as brand ....... look for a company that makes the proper size for your 22'. But then remember that you have to add a UV barrier strip on your head sail, so it is protected when you roll it up. Hope this helps........ May you have smooth sailing on warm breezes !
