Ha Ha! Furlers are one of those "Love it" or "Hate it" things. Those of us who love 'em can't imagine having to do without one. Those who hate 'em can't wait to get the piece of junk off their boat! Nick, is your CDI furler the ball bearing model? Mine is and I don't have the problem you've encountered. Larry On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 7:47 PM, Nick and Pam Field <nickpamfield@gmail.com> wrote:
I have one and the fact that it doesn't have an upper swivel makes it impossible to furl in any wind and if you do get some furling done the shape is so bad that tacking is a flapping mess It's best use is when sailing up to your mooring you can take in the sail. Rik Google ads for CDI don't do justice to real life experience in any windy conditions with the CDI and if you like I can sell you one cheap Nick

Nick,
Google is your friend. You might want to look up CDI furler as apparently you haven't seen one before.

The CDI furler is a sail bag on the forstay and not an effective furling system Nick M17

Hello All, I have a CDI furler on my M-15 and even though my shrouds are attached at the after chain plate holes I can’t seem to get the furler taut.In fact there is a little forward rake in the mast at the present setting. Of course our 15’s have no back stays which would probably solve the slackness problem.Any helpful advice? RTH.
