This winter we want to install a furling system on our M28. Hauling the jib up and down is causing the first mate (ie the wife) to complain and I agree that it...
Peter, I'd determine my budget for the project and whether I want/need roller reefing or just furling for storage. Then I'd add up the cost of the system,...

Bryan, I replaced my 20 X 17(pitch) on my 1982 416 when I re-powered a couple of years ago. The new Cummins engine needed a new transmission which needed a...

I like all that. Since we're on a lake we won't need reefing ability. I definitely like the owner installed part. My budget is about $1,500 so this would fit...

I added the CDI Flexible Furler to my M28 (1970) about four or five years ago. It both reefs and furls, and I've been very happy with it. It has the advantage...
I should add that I also sail on fresh water. When I got the furler, I got a high-cut 150 with a foam luff for reefing - it really works quite nicely even...

I have no reason to doubt that 18 x 17  3 blade is right. Which is why I enquired about where to get one. 17 x 17 is wrong - for that I can vouch, Bryan ~~~...
