I have a chance to buy a roller furling off of a C27. No sail, but only $200.
How hard would it be to make it work on my C25?. Not sure of the make.

Thanks

Ron

It depends on the brand, but it will probably just be a shortening job. It may or may not use your existing headstay or halyard, so the brand means a lot.

If it's a CDI Flexible Furler it would be as simple as reducing the size of the rubber extrusion by cutting off the excess. Can't speak to other makes.

I can't imagine one that could not be cut down but the brand AND model will determine how hard it will be to accomplish. Furlers are a very important piece of equipment, learning about them only takes a few minutes at the various websites. Basically; Harken works Best, Schaffer very high quality, CDI cheap but adequate and a particularly good match for a C-25 because of the internal halyard. All others are random also ran products. A new CDI is so cheap that $200 for a used one is just barely OK and that would be for one in really good shape.
