Peter Blokpoel #8473 Hi Kent, thanks for reply. I guess time will tell! Do you have vertical battens in main/mizzen and if so, are they giving any problems whilst furling?

I can however comment on the robustness of Amel systems. If the furling gear is maintained it should last a long long time. As for furling vs slab reefing...I'll never go back to slab. It's so easy to reef and all from in the cockpit that I know I'm safer with the furler. It does require paying attn to the boom angle and watching the sail enter the mast to avoid having it bunch up and bind. Sail shape isn't ideal, but we're cruising not racing. I was skeptical at first, but I am totally sold now. Try it, you'll like it. Kent SM243 KRISTY Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone powered by Alltel
