Re: Roller furling for a Typhoon

Hello, I'm always so happy to pull a line and have my Genoa rolled in seconds later .My Typhoon had a Hood flex furler. CDI makes one also.The Sail Warehouse has a package deal with sail and furler. You can also ask local sailmakers .I think you should go for it, you won't be sorry!!

Hello, I upgraded to Lewmar EVO 15 selftailing winches. No problem mounting on Typhoon Senior. Selftailing is the way to go! . There are several styles offered by different companies.... not cheap but worth the investment,. BMag
