Cdi Roller Furler Ation How To Latest GearIve become a better sailor at a faster rate with the hank on. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. Has anyone tried to fix this problem How do we get the sail up in the Spring. I was in the business during those years, yet was completely unaware of the CDI waluminum extrusions. Guess one can learn something everyday - even 25 years after the fact. I upgraded the plastic drum two years ago and retained the old foil. I called them and they had plenty of parts and it was not too bad. During a hurricane on a mooring the furler got beat up with a couple of connector broken. I took the pieces off, cut 18 off the ends clean with my chop saw and using the connectors I got from CDI put it all back together. Someone broke the sections when the decided it was easier then taking them apart. The technician suggest that I do what they do and that is to use the half lengths of the torque links instead of the full lengths, as they were broken in half.

The torque links and teflon bearings go in the joints to keep the sections aligned. I guess we will have to wait until Spring to go up on a chair to see what is happened up on the furler, and then see what we really need to do about it. Again, thanks for the photos especially, they say a thousand words. Ted. I previously had other issues with the roller furling on an old Irwin 37. What I did was abandon my comfort zone with the roller furling and took it down, converted it to the old hank on jib. An older salt friend of mine persuaded me that the hank on is much less problematic and sails better.
