Hi David  I had the debate as to whether to change to a roller reefer or not. I've stayed with my hanked on sails as it's cheaper - I didn't want to...
Just in case anyone thinks the 2 systems are the same, and at the risk of teaching misc. grandmothers (and g-fathers) to suck eggs, it's really not a good idea...
Hi Colin, The system I was thinking of, if at all, is the Platismo 406 with a Genoa made for purpous and I belive attached via a foil. Best wishes, David...
Dear Tony, I think you have made a good point, what sort of sailing do I want to do? Well having been on boats with furling gear I do know I don't want to find...
