Roller reefing some more
I'm still shopping for jib roller reefing and came across Alado Nautica. This is a bit different from all the others and cheaper. Anybody see any serious drawbacks to this one? At first the idea of no bearings was strange but after some thought, I can't see any problem. Thanks Gordon -- Ask not for whom the terrorist bell tolls; it tolls for thee, and thee, and thee--for decent, innocent people everywhere. |

Better check how much it weighs. It looks like the halyard compression is
carried by the foil which must require a pretty heavy section. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
