I am considering purchasing a CDI FF9 furler for my Islander 36.

Would appreciate any experience/comments on this furler for a boat with a +/- 47'' headstay measurement.

Also, looking at pictures, this furler apparently has a built in halyard contained within the extrusion. How does this work with the typical existing halyard. i.e. typical halyards pull the head of the sail up while this one appears to require a downward pull to raise/tension the sail/luff.

How do you control the sail luff tension for various sailing conditions?
