Bill, You might be right. I'll have to measure. I saw the Spinex at the show. The slogan was something like "you need balls to furl a spinnaker". It is one of the pricier furlers I saw.

I have been fighting the urge to buy a ProFurl Spinex that is on sale at Defender. But then I would have to make a whole new bow fitting with, I figure, about a foot and half extension for a bow roller to hang it on.

I put a shackle on the stem fitting per the suggestion of others on the list. I currently use a snatch block and control line to attach to the shackle, so I would use the snap shackle on the furler to attach to the control line.

However I came across a Harken model1852 furler that is on sale for $600. http://www.pyacht.com/harken-gennaker-furlingm.htm It only requires that you splice a line from the head to the tack and can theoretically be used with other sails. I've used a sock, but not a furler. Given a choice, which would you use? -- Joel 35/3 The Office Annapolis 301 541 8551 <tel:301%20541%208551> _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com -- Joel 301 541 8551 <tel:301%20541%208551> _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com -- Joel 301 541 8551 _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
