Default Best headsail roller furling unit?

@read1.cgocable.net:

This is not to say it would not work - The CDI units work quite well on
smaller boats and are also cheap.

But, for a 37 footer, get a decent system!


REality check - Will it furl it in a gale with 12' rollers breaking over
the bow?

I'm with you....the stouter the better! Going up there in that gale to
fool around with cheap plastic crap might lose the kids a daddy!
