[quote=CatFan57]My P18.2 (bought used) came with that roller furler and it works very nicely.
However, my jib has two horizontal batten pockets that extend from the leach forward about 10", yet there were no battens in them when I got it. I assume the prior owner may have removed them so he could use the furler. However, in strong air I was getting significant fluttering along the jib leech right where the largest batten pocket is located, and I noticed the sail material in that area seemed to have lost its stiffness. I felt that was probably degrading the performance of the jib (and maybe main too), so I just had battens installed - which means I won't be able to use the furler, or won't be able to use it all the way. Maybe something to consider re getting a furler.
PS, compliments on the refurbished boat - looks like new in photos.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by CatFan57 on Jun 12, 2019 - 02:38 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
