TYPHOON WEEKENDER ROLLER FURL

Re: TYPHOON WEEKENDER ROLLER FURL
See my response to the 6/17 post "Roller Furler" for my recommendation.
Re: TYPHOON WEEKENDER ROLLER FURL
Ahoy Bob,
When I bought our Ty several years ago, I asked a local rigger for roller advice and he installed a Schaefer Snapfurl roller..They are made specifically for boats our size..I am very pleased with the roller and have had no problems in 3-4 years..You may have to recut your jib or get a new jib to fit..I had a local fellow make me a new 155 which rolls down to storm jib size and still keeps good shape..
Can't help with the snuffer.
