I see Harken has a style of furler developed to be affordable for coastal
cruising called the ESP.

At about 1K, it's way more affordable than the more sophisticated Harken
units and comparable in price to the cheaper furlers on the market.
I would think buying the Harken Unit 0 or 1 would be an issue for a 26
because, by the time you finished the project with rigging, sails, etc., you
will have spent big $$$$, possibly approaching the value of the boat itself.

Subject: Stus-List Furler Choice
With much talk recently of the merits of a furling headsail, I have decided
to bite the bullet, install a new furler and have a new sail made for my 26.
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?
