Harken Roller Furling units

by Steve Williams

Jan 24, 2012

Hi Everyone,

I am having Tiki 30 (#221) built and would like to know which model Harken Roller Furling unit people use on the Jibs.

I see a small unit that is stated for use up to Cats 23' in size, can this be used or is the next bigger one the one to go for.

Cheers, Steve

    I'm looking at replacing the roller furling on Moku and was looking at the Plastimo 609 or 811 units.  They are a lot cheaper than the Harken ones.  Does anyone have any experience with the Plastimo ones and how they compare with other makes?

    I have had very good luck with the cruising designs furlers as well. The two T8ms at the Marriott in Marco Island have had theirs in multi-trip daily use for 8 years now and think that they really work well.They aremuch less expensive than the Harken.
