Dennis,
Obviously you've not use a Selden Furlex furler... they rock. Mine
has never once jammed on me and as long as I give it some lube and
freshwater every once in a while, I can furl my headsail (on a 50 foot
boat) by hand.
As for Garhauer, I like all their stuff, but I have 4 of their
clutc
Ox has one (double) cam style clutch of unknown origin. More than once I've
had to use a hammer to get it to release the headsail halyard. The force
required was somewhere between a firm tap and a controlled thwack.

Harken, Schaefer, Ronstan, etc on Touché.
I've sailed and raced on dozens of boats and used lots of marine products.

Just a thought. I replaced all the worthless Easy-Lock clutches on my 29-2
with Spinlock XTS that I bought new on eBay for about half what I would
have paid retail. Of course I bought them off season when nobody was
looking for them.
