Roller Furling Questions

 

I have a Hood 810 Seafurl LD on my boat.? This is a new boat to me and the roller furling is missing a couple of parts.? I have reached out to Hood to see if I can buy the parts I need but so far they haven't responded.? My next step would be to bite the bullet and buy a new roller furling.? I'd like to get some recommendations from the forum here as to what you have and how yours has worked for you.? If you can recommend a roller furler that is currently in production that would be helpful.??

Thanks,

Paul
 

Can you find a Hood distrbutor who is authorized by Hood to operate
in your area? That would be their domain.

I've been very happy with my Harken Mark III Unit 0 (3rd generation,
smallest keelboat size) roller furler. Mark IV is current generation.
Boat yard bent one of the foil pieces and the rigging outfit wanted
to replace the Mk III with a Mk IV because they didn't want to track
down a Mk III foil even though they are a Harken distributor/dealer
so probably kind of a jerk move but I tracked down Mk III foil from
a different distributor and had it shipped to them to save having
to replace the whole thing just yet. Trying to sort this out, I
did also email Harken trying to figure out what was still supported
and which size I had (funny how marine hardware never actually has
a part number on it) and got a reply so props to Harken for
customer service.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. After posting this I called the Pompanette HQ and was
transferred to a very helpful lady. I was able to order my parts. I hope
the furler works well after I get them installed. It's an older one so I am
still interested to hear what other T27 Owners are using as I may upgrade to
new when I do a major refit over this coming winter.

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...
