Purchased a Harken Type 1 roller furler from Binnacle,com

Doug sent me the tip. We paid 1189 + 20 in shipping. Fits great. I was quoted 2400 here in MD.

Great to know.

Best,

It's a head scratcher how they can sell for so much less than US retailers (even on-line). I think Harken establishes a minimum selling price agreement with their US retailers that obviously doesn't apply to those in Canada.

I installed the ESP unit 1 on my stays'l. Just got the new sail, so will be trying it out this week!

I just raised our sail in 22 knots, not easy but it was fun. Our sail fits nicely.

Best of luck and thanks again for the great lead!!!
