[Alberg30] Wire Furling

[Mike Lehman]

I put a Schaefer 110 system on my Alberg about 3 years ago and it works 
great. At the time I was considering Harken, but sevearl people I spoke with 
that had Harken systems were having problems when there was tension put on 
them. It's because the bearing race in the Harken system was a square 
channel and the little balls would deform under load, while the Schaefer 
system has a bearing race, channel, that is shaped to the bearings and it 
runs free under load. I am sure that Harken has corrected the problem, but 
this is why I chose Schaefer at the time and I am very happy with the 
choice.

Can anybody give me an opinion / history on the reliability of Schaefer
wire furling for headsails.

Kindest Regards- Greg
