self furling system and main halyard pulleys


 

I'd like to add a self furling jib system this winter. ?Are there any recommendations on which are best or how to find used ones? ?Can i use my large genoa on such a device or do i need to buy a sail for this? (Hope not).


This is mostly about safety for me, ?climbing onto the deck to pull sails is getting trickier for me as I have passed the 60 yr old mark.


I would also like to install deck pulleys to enable me to hoist the main from the cockpit as well. ?I only have the big jib winches to work with, ? should i add one or can i use the ones i have. ?


Any advice welcome. I expect to pull the mast down this winter so that I can do this work, ?maybe upgrade the halyards while i'm at it.?


thanks Bob
