Roller Reefing
 

Time for new roller reefing jib system. My old roller furling doesn't reef
and old sail is shot anyway so time for new.
Any advice on brands etc?

Thanks
Gordon

I've had several and now favor the Harken.

I purchased a used unit and with the ample assistance of the Harken (not
sure if it's 'in or 'en) tech staff, I was able to completely rebuild
everything without any special tools. Just the cost of the bearings (about 6
sets or so). I think the even provided some consumable plastic parts for the
foil joints.
