[C38] ROLLER FURLER

[Rob Cornelsen]

Charles,

What model Profurl do you have?

I local riggor talked me into replacing my original
Profurl RC42? with a Furlex 200s.  It constantly binds
up and finally broke when furled up in a thunderstorm
furling line pulled right out of the drum.

Thanks

Rob Cornelsen
