anybody have a good source for a cheap roller furling setup for a c22?

Hmm, roller furler and cheap... Do those words belong in the same sentance? If so, sign me up.

Thanks

funny, so true, you can make up your own, there are sources on the web that will seel you the allum extrusion ( really the key item) they al lcome in peices for shipping) but then you need th drum and shackles and all sorts of bits ( that are not cheap and you would not want to buy cheap anyway, so that when all was said and done - -it was no bargain...

best source for a cheap roller furler... buy and old boat with one! I know... it is crazy but i am finding the same thing with my trailer search... old boat with trailer, roller furler and four stroke outboard -- $500 9 going begging) old trailer with no boat -- $2.500 and gone before you finish reading hte adv.! old roller furler with no boat -- 900 and gone before the seller finishes writing the adv. I concluded that for now, the amoutn of sailing I do does not justify the cost. and the boat is pretty old to boot.

Okay I just found a build your own Roller Furling for $40.00 in this issue of Small Craft Advisor Jul/Aug issue no. 58.

The article has pictures and writen instructions. The one he shows is not using a fore stay but he talks about how it could work. Honestly it is very slick looking they way he built it.

Thanks
