Hi Tom, How long have you had that Sheafer boom furler? I have one on my "new to me" boat. I've only been able to use it about 3 times but, so far I really love it! It had not been exercised in a few years and they left it with the sail rolled up in it year after year so it seemed a bit stiff but began to work more easily each time. The main sail seems to be pretty new. It has a neil pryde main sail on it. When you look at the videos of the booom furler on the Shaefer site you can see the Neil Pryde logo on the sail on their demonstration boat. I was assuming Sheafer made some kind of deal with them. Any tips or tricks on using it? Danny
