Hi all, I have a Nacra 5.2 without a furling jib. Because I sail solo most of the time I'd like to be able to furl the jib from time to time. Later on I plan to add a spinnaker, by that time the furler should also come in really handy.

The Harken drum and swivel most recommend are so pricey I could never justify spending that much on my old boat. A second hand unit I was quoted on is even more expensive than a new Ronstan part!

Somebody recommended I get a Ronstan RF 78b and RF76 type of furler, but to me that setup seems a little weak.

Can anyone recommend a particular Ronstan, RWO or Barton (read: budget) setup?

regards,
Dennis
