Re: [FOGgers] Re: Roller Furlers

I think ours is a Harken IV. We have not used it much since we bought the boat but it seems to work fine. The PO said it was ovesized and worked great. The boat came with a 100% jib on it. He sailed the Channel Islands where there is much wind at times. We replaced the line on it.

Replaced with a Harken this spring, didn't understand how good the new stuff was. This is a great piece of gear that has given no problems. The guys who did it for me do a lot of work on boats that go offshore and it is their choice for our size boats. David
