[Public-List] upgrading roller furling

[brooks.glenn at comcast.net]

Hello Michael, 


I just put a Harken Unit 1 furling system on Dolce, and love it. Seems to be heavy duty and fool proof - very easy to use. 


The Harken appears to be the most popular system on the northwest coast, and gets good reviews for off shore sailing. The clevis pin is 1/2 " on this system. The north sails guy ( I also put on new sails this spring) says hoisting height for your genoa depends on the cut of the sail, and how far down from the mast head the halyard block needs to hang to get the correct angle to the head of the sail... 


cheers

>From the orginal A30 Sail Plan, J = 10 feet 5 inches, 
Hoist of the regulation #1 is 34' 0 " 
Max hoist 36' 0"

Hello All. 

I'm looking at upgrading my roller furling system on Wooshkeetaan. 
I'm thinking about installing either a Harken "Unit 1 Cruising Furling 
System" or the Facnor LS 130 Jib Furler . Has anyone had experience 
with either of these systems (I'd appreciate comments, if so) and can 
anyone confirm the relevant "factory" specifications of our boats? 
Specifically: I'm looking for certain dimensions: The "I" dimension, 
which is the length of the vertical line measured from the maximum 
hoisting point of the Genoa all the way down to the lowest point of the 
deck (Mauri Pro has it listed as 36 ft.). I am also looking for the 
"J", which is the base of the foretriangle measured along the deck from 
the headstay pin to the front of the mast (Mauri Pro has it listed as 
10.5 ft.). Finally, I'm looking for the headstay diameter and clevis 
pin size. 

Thanks, in advance. I'm assuming my rig is stock, which I can verify at 
a later point, but I'm not close to my boat for a few weeks and this 
info would be very helpful in the meantime. 

Regards, and happy sailing
