Default upcoming Harken furler and foils availability

Hi, folks,

We're replacing our standing rigging in a couple of weeks and will
have available the workhorse Harken II (or 2?), version 2 furler and
foils (1" cross section, 1.1" depth, dual slot) available. We have
the replacement pins for securing the sections of the foil together,
so will disassemble it, and have also the owner's or maintenance
manual (forget which; it's buried in my HD). This unit has worked
flawlessly for us, snip



Thanks for the chuckle, Skippy. Seems like I recall quite recently where you
had to motor halfway across the Gulf Stream with your genny all twisted up
and flogging and ended up having to have extensive repairs to it because of
your malfunctioning wind-up rig?
