Still have the roller reefing on Wild Cheri. However the old 30-1 is so still that I've only used it twice.Seems I can fly a 160% with a bubble in the main at winds in the 15-20 range.Can get exciting in a puff!RonSTL

Like Touche, the roller boom is disabled by the Garhauer Vang. Bell has end boom sheeting with the traveler on the transom. And though I have done away with the topping lift, I still use the little rotating plate on the end of the boom as the attachment point for the mainsheet block. I don’t really think this was the pinnacle of sailboat technology. But if it works, why change it. Rick BrassImzadi C&C 38 mk 2la Belle Aurore C&C 25 mk1Washington, NC
