There is one model I do not like. CDI. My reason is very specific. They use a self contained halyard. Under normal headsail rigging, the halyard and the luff rope share the load with the head stay. I have scene a head stay fail and the luff rope halyard combination keep the rig standing long enough to allowr emergency? rigging repairs. With a CDI, it would be bye bye mast...
