Has the Furlex changed that? Sounds like you had a problem with your furling line routing causing friction, plus maybe not enough forestay tension and a sail that wasn't designed properly for a furler. I've sailed with a CDI for years and haven't had any of those issues. It will be interesting to see how the Furlex 50 compares.

I found that you couldn't furl under any load and it didn't hold a good shape when I sailed with it furled A local sail maker described it as a sail bag on the forestay Nick

I am in the processing of researching a Harken Furler #434 Lo Load 500 lbs, @ $316 vs #435 Hi Load 950 lbs @ $365. Max wire size 1/8 inch on both
Q 1. Is the Lo Load sufficient on a M15?
Q 2. Is the extra $49 for a Hi Load worth it?
