 If anyone is considering a furler - we will be putting our Furlex (Type A) furler up for sale at the end of this boating season, i.e., 31-Oct-10.

While it's sized for a C25 tall rig, I'm 99% sure it can be shortened . . .

Yes I am very interested... how many boat units?

Hello Darren,

I sent you an e-mail a couple of days ago via the forum. Did you receive it?

E-mail from this site very often doesn't get through. I suspect spam filters catch it because the "From" (you) is not the same as the sender (the site).

I am not sure what has happened to Darren . . . his last post on the forum was 12-Oct10. It is time to re-offer this furler for $300 firm + shipping.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Terry, I understand, we were away from sailing for a few years when we acquired our current boat. The pin to attach the the furler to the stemhead fitting was missing. When we reseached the model number we discovered it is a Type A. See pix below - (the algae covered furler line was replaced with a new, correct metric diameter line in 2010.) The furler operated perfectly through 30Oct10, the day we pulled the boat.

To view the spare parts manual go here:

http://www.seldenmast.com/frameset.cfm?id=5564&randnum=823234032

Under the "goto" window select "spareparts lists" and scroll down to "SPL Flx A" and open the Adobe file.

The people at Selden at excellent and there is an extensive US dealer network.

Still for sale? Also, do you know how easily it can be modified for a standard rig?

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Jerry, the first person that expressed intererst disappeared from the forum. The other parties that inquired apparently have not been monitoring this thread. I'm at a point where whoever produces payment first is the new owner.

Since you would be installing this on a standard rig - you would simply need to shorten the uppermost foil. You will also need to shorten the forestay. You would most probably want to use a rigger to shorten and swage a new end on the forestay. The rigger could also offer advice on determining how much to shorten the forestay.

Naturally you will want to inspect the current forestay for wear.

The people at Selden Mast are very helpful and they will recommend a dealer/rigger. No shortage of those in your neck of the woods I'm sure.

I sent you an e-mail and it immediately came back as "Invalid recipient"

I will try it again now without the "." after .com

Second attempt appears to have worked.
