Hi Richard, I had mine replaced with a Harken in 2020 which my rigger recommended. Happy with it overall although the build quality did have some issues, so not sure if it is worth the price. In particular, the cage for the furling drum had some sharp edges left on the inside corners from the casting process that were not ground smooth before anodizing. These edges quickly chafed through my first two furling lines when the sail was reefed and the furling line ended up at the top or bottom of the drum (and yes, it was set up with the block in the right location to keep the line nominally centered on the drum. I sanded the edges smooth and repainted with black aluminum paint and haven't had any issues with it since but was definitely a bit disappointed in that aspect of it since it came new that way. Otherwise it runs very smoothly and is reliable. Nathan
