ive put a furler on my 5.0 im sailing with my 10 y.o daughter it's just a bit of insurance it's good to get back to the beach and furl the jib the factory here in AUS said that they do a lot of coversion for rec sailors etc they use a different jib lighter dacron the big jibs dont like being rolled
i didnt bother putting a cleat on the front beam i just use the barber hauler cleat to hold the furler string ive also found that with the bridle foil ive had to pull the furler parrallel with it to stop the furler from jamming up and ive also found that the jib should be side it rolls from
anyway just my input thanks richard
