[c350ia] A question about in mast furling...

[Ilene Brandon]

Hi Al,

We will never buy a boat without one.  I was the resistant one.  We also
have an electric coach top winch, makes life easy.

Fair winds,

Ron & Ilene Brandon
Cat 350 #139 Ilene

Well... time is drawing near. We have accepted an offer on the house,  
thus will be purchasing our dream - a Catalina 350. There's one in  
Seattle right now and with one exception is the boat for us. The  
exception is the in mast furling system. My wife and I have shied  
away from that arrangement for mostly simplicity reasons - thinking  
that the system is "just one more thing to break". Heck.. my current  
vessel has a hank on jib and I use a sextant !  So.. we'd be very  
interested in everyone's observations on the system - I do recall a  
recent post of one that jammed up and would not allow the sail to be  
furled.
Standing by,

Al Szymanski
