Gang,
I'm made an offer on a 34' Catalina that was promptly rejected. I'm considering upping the offer but am checking on a couple things.
The boat had a furler that I wasn't familiar with. It's a continuos line furler...I always thought these were all out or all the way in. Can you reef with these furlers? Anybody with experience? The boat is pretty much outfit for cruising so a non reefable furler seems odd. I googled this a lot today and couldn't really come up with anything that made sense.
I'm going to be day sailing/coastal crusing with occasional offshore hops to the keys/dry tortugas from SW FL. There's a 150 Genoa on it now so that would be nice to reef. Broker is clueless and owners are in Ireland and hard to reach.
