Hi Doug,
I have had two Wykeham-Martin systems on a small british wooden cutter.
Yes, system is simple: You CAN NOT REEF ( if you want to have a usable
sail shape), only stow away the sails. With a long bowsprit a real
advantage. But on a M-15 or M-17 in my opinion all in all the same
funktion as a jib douser. But sometimes it jams - a douser does not.
I would not buy it again.
Regards,
Michael Anderson

With all this talk about the CDI furler has anyone ever used the Wykeham-Martin Furling Gear?
It is a 100 year old design but seems much simpler to install, use, and remove for trailering.
Thanks
Doug Kelch
