Headsail furling
Hi, I need to decide which jib furling units to install on our new (to us) boat. It's a Brewer 40 PH with a removable inner forestay. Both headsail and staysail are hank on now and I want to install furling units on both. Researching the info. here and elsewhere I hear very good things about the Harken and Schaeffer. I have had a Profurl on another boat for 15 years with no problems so I would have no problem with Profurl either. I am leaning towards the Schaeffer for a couple of reasons, but am wondering if they are really worh the extra cost (app.$800 extra each)? I also have not been able to figure out if I will need to replace the headstay if I go with the Schaeffer, it is only about a year old with swaged fittings.
Thanks for any advice, John
