Allen: As you note, there are many different systems out there. My guidelines for buying this type of item are:
1. Buy the best I can afford as it will likely provide the best service. 2. Buy a well known brand as that generally means it works well, is well supported, and will add to the perceived value of the boat for a future purchaser. 3. Buy the size recommended by the manufacturer for the boat. 4. Replace any dubious hardware on the boat that will be associated with the new purchase. For a furler, replace the headstay and fittings if at all questionable. Given the above, I’d buy a Harken. I have installed several on your size boat and have had no complaints.

Someone mentioned that they were quite pleased with their Superfurl. I seem to get a different answer from each person I ask this question: What is the best choice for a furler on a small boat?
