I have a 30ft - S-2 sailboat and recently purchased a Profurl LC-32 jib furler.
I have contacted several boatyards about installation and received only
one quote. The quote was $700. I wanted to know is this a reasonable
price for installation? If anyone knows of a good installer between
Deltaville and Norfolk Virginia that would be less please let me know.
I did contact a couple in Deltaville but they were too busy.
Thank You.
Give Charlie Taylor of Bay Area Rigging a call. He's a Profurl dealer and installed my new furler last year and I was happy with the work. I would not recommend the other rigger in Deltaville, based on my previous experience with them.
Thanks for reply - I had contacted Taylor 2 months ago and he couldn't
do it. He referred me to someone else who I tried to contact but they never
got back with me, so I am still looking.
Knothead - Thanks for all the good info. I also live in Florida on the Gulf side.
I have my boat in Virginia where two of my children live. I plan on getting the boat to Florida at some point. The price I got was
for them to do all the work because I am out of the country. I think I will just
wait till I get back and find a rigger and help him and learn something. Thanks Again
If he's gonna be that far north that might work, but there are some cost/logistics involved if his boat is normally kept near Deltaville that might more than offset any potential savings.
oops read right over the Northfolk to Deltaville part
