Yes, but...

Back to the original subject, I have been mentioning in every furler related thread on here for the last three years that people should look at the Alado furler. I have one that was inexpensive, easy to install, and works well. Support is great, as mentioned here.

It was interesting to be able to inspect the bearings after 2 1/2 years of use (although I would just as soon have passed on that opportunity) and not find any sign of wear whatsoever.

Davenport mentioned that Practical Sailor ran a good article on Alado last month. Maybe someone could verify that.

I have been wanting to know if anyone had the Alado furler and what they thought of it. I have an old CDI Reefer 2 that is nearing (rapidly) the end of its life and have been looking at the Alado from a simplicity and ease of installation point of view.

I installed an Alado system on my boat a year ago. Wonderful experience, both with the installation and use. Quality product made in Brazil.
