roller furler for Typhoon

[clarsenjr]

We just purchased a Typhoon and feel we must rig for cockpit sailing only !

Best roller furler for Typhoon weekender brand / model/ cost ?

Any advise will be helpful regarding other items / cost to be considered.

Thanks

We sail our TY on Lake Champlain and have found the CDI furler to be trouble free and reliable. It is an older version, so I can't speak to recent models, but am aware of no concerns. I single-hand much of the time, and absolutely appreciate the POs decision to install the furler - for me, I have learned it means more time on the water.

Enjoy!

I installed a CDI (Model no. FF2) for a Typhoon six years ago and it has been very trouble free. It was
$610 with some options (about $100), plus another $100 or so for the furling line and some deck hardware (fairleads and one bronze cleat) to lead the line back to the cockpit. Rinse it with fresh water frequently.

We had a CDI years ago on another boat and concur, they are simple tough and noting much to go wrong. dee

I sail my 1976 Typhoon on Lake George (previously on Lake Champlain) and installed the CDI FF1 roller furler. It has been really good and never fails over the ten years I have had it. I furl the main then sail into the dock with the genny - furling it as I get closer then momentum takes over - I do mostly single handed sailing. I bought it from Rigging Only - best price and excellent service.
