[ArgleBargle]

Hi

using ATN sock/snuffer with ca. 100 square metre gennaker on 37 foot boat with removable ca. 2 ft bowsprit, which works ok, but considering going to a removable furler.

Any opinions regarding endless line Gennaker furler (eg. Facnor, Harken, Bamar, CDI) vs snuffer/sock?

The only sailmaker i spoke with (UK sails in Sidney, BC) tells me wont work because the luff may be too long and these furlers only work with Code sails, but the manufacturers' literature does not seem to support this, nor does, eg, Practical Sailor review of March 2008, and the sailmaker did not seem all that well informed.

comments?

many thanks in advance.
