I had to pull them out the bottom. I could just reach the clip to remove the
retaining pin.
Putting the new ones back in was another story. I had to place them so that one
was horizontal and the other through long bends lined up with it. This was the
only way I could reach to replace the pin.
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.

I have a C&C 26.
I’ve had the boat about 12 years and it came with a Profurl furler.
I don’t know how old the furler was when I bought the boat but it’s still going
strong.
A couple of seasons ago I replaced all the standing rigging including the
forestay.
Because that meant I woul

Allen,
I see you’re thinking of a new sail too.
If your old, hank on sail is in good condition you might want to consider
having a luff tape installed on that.
But, if you’ve got the money, the best investment (by far) for your sailboat is
new sails.
I bought a new set of sails a few years
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 co
I got my Harken Mark IV Unit 0 on sale at Binnacle.ca for under $1200 and
free shipping. Local quotes were up in the range of $1600. Toggle was on
sale at Binnacle too. They don't have a sale on right now and of course it
doesn't work if you are not in Canada but these units do go on sale fairl
you tend to get what you pay for.for durability & resale value plus
after sales service two brand s stand out over time...furlex from
sweden..and harken from usa.harken after service is A
oneresale as addition to boat ads value...i would go harken with a
reputable sailmakers sail
That was me that talked about the super furl.
The beauty of the superfurl was the quality for the price and not needing a new
sail. I installed the furler and new slugs on the sail myself myself.
I wouldn't hesitate to use another one on my boat.
I would have to look but, I think I paid about
I install and service roller furlers. There are some good ones and there are
some that are junk.
If I was installing a new furler on Touché, it would be a Harken MKIV. The
price differential for the smaller furlers over Harken's cruising furlers isn't
that great. The MKIV 's are bombproof.
I used to have a small crack ( about 4 inches ) along the aft part of the
hull-keel joint . Every spring I grinded it a little, filled with epoxy/silica
. Every layup the crack showed up again.
2 years ago I replaced the standard West System epoxy with their g/Flex
product, mixed with silica .
Listers,
There are some deep stains and some discoloration in the Enterprise's ice box.
What kind of paint could I use to give it a fresh look?
All the best,
Edd

I would think it would be better to use a gel coat stain remover first and
see if that works. One of the products that commonly gets used along the
water line like Davis FSR (Fiberglass Stain Remover):
http://www.davisnet.com/marine/products/list_marine.asp?grp=m17-2
or something comparable.

I've used FSR on the water line. Nothing removes the "City Island Stain"
better.
I'll try it. But really hoping for a fresh like-new look.
All the best,
Edd

If you have rod rigging, the Harken is the only one that goes over rod. It
makes no sense to buy a cheaper firler and a new headstay IMHO.
