TY for cking in Merlna!

Reeling in that 153 on my boat even in light air is a chore! The working jib is way easier. Sometimes I do just start it with the winch, then the rest by hand.. gloves help allot. The line in mine is 3/8" I think 7/16" would work but I'm not buying more line this yr! One thing that also helped... I put a new and larger turning block at the cockpit end. when ever a line is around a block it reduces the effort on your part. (like the mainsheet controls)

I really love those $$$ furlers like facnor and profurl. I had a CDI on my hunter 23, it was great. I may get a CDI for my boat anyway as the $ allows. It has an old CDI "reefer" model that's been beat.

ok guys we still love you!
