small boat jib furling systems

[Beached]

This 1978,15' Macgregor/venture catamaran of mine is ready to sail( finally ).Except for one thing.I just found out this cat comes standard with a jib furling system.The furling parts were'nt with the boat when I recieved it.Can anyone recommend a furling system for a small boat with a jib sail area of 49 sq.feet?Thanks!!

I don't use one, but have installed one a SNAP FURL they are great for small boats and are cheep around 130 bucks you sail becuase it is a CAT Probobly has a luff trac systom, if it does not you will have to spend a little for the sail to be changed or just by a new sail

SLOOPY,<br /> The jib is brand new,and made to match the original jib(it has a grommet at each end and it will slide over the furling system).In your opinion ,is it worth the money.Do the advantages outweigh any disadvantages?<br /> -----------------------------------<br /> I'd still like to know where you got those graemlins
