i recommend the Schaefer Snapfurl.
i recommend having a new headsail made. get a 150% ... this is the sail that Lyle designed the M17 to use. recutting a sail will only result in disappointing performance.
i recommend getting both the sail & furler from JudyB - http://www.hydesailsdirect.com/ Judy knows the boats, can get you the correct items and will treat you right.
order soonest as this is the time of years backorders happen as folks get ready for the sailing season!
be aware that a furling unit will increase rigging time by 15-20 minutes if you 'dry sail' the boat.

Sailors, Asking for input from those that have installed roller furlers on their Monty 17's. What brand do you have and what did it cost? Did you have to change out your forestay to install the unit? Do you like what you have? Did you have to have a special jib made for the furler? Thanks for your help.
Fair winds, Tom B,Monty 17 "AS-IS"
