CDI furler for c-26

Hello All,
I am looking at a used CDI furler here locally, model 4/6. Does anyone use one of these on their boat? Any recommendations for a furler? Not as steady on my feet as I used to be and would like to get out of hanking the jib.

sail reconditioning

I was wondering if anyone has ever had their sails reconditioned? I got the impression they are cleaned and a coating put on them. I don't know how effective or expensive it would be.

I sail my 22 in inland lakes in Ohio. Not much natural chop, but a lot of unlimited horsepower boats running on a reservoir can get choppy. Mine has a swing keel. The only thing that I notice is that the keel thumps a lot, but she sails flat through chop. I have read on this forum in the past about ...

That is pretty. Did you spray or brush it? I am looking down that rabbit hole myself on the C-22, I may want to get all the patches the same color.

I am not sure if they do or not. I would not surprise me if they are the same. It would make manufacturing more efficient to use the same stock.

Wood finishes

I am working on my gangway planks, tiller, and the channels on the sliding hatch on a C-20 and a C-22, I have used teak oil in the past, which seems to fade quickly, and Helmsman Spar urethane which blisters and gets cloudy after 1 season. I think I will try Cabot's spar varnish this time. Our boats...

If I can picture it right, the structure below the gangway supports the mast and maybe the winch that lowers the keel. Any rotten wood on a boat should be on the short list to be fixed, or the problem will just get worse and harder to fix. It is probably a compression force on it winch makes it stro...

The keel weight is about right. The 20 has a stub keel on it also which the 22 does not have. I think the stub keel lets you go with a lighter drop keel. The 20 also has different handling characteristics than the 22. The 22 will tack faster. I sail them both on an inland reservoir, and I have found...

length of mast

I just measured my C-22 mast to try to fit a cover to it and the boat. It measured exactly 27 feet 0 inces from the shoe at the bottom of the mast to the top of my anchor light. I think 26' 6" would be accurate without the light.
