Hi all from the Saltyseadog

Can some one tell me where I can obtain a roller reefing Jib set for my
mistress?.
Her name is "DULCIBELLA" and and the moment I have to shiver my timbers over her deck to take off the jib.
She is not to happy about this and we are thinking about fitting a roller reefing jib, second hand if possible.
Would we need a dinghy type?
Thank you for your time reading this post, as yet I have been unable to find her sisters from my earlier post, we are still hoping that someone will contact us with
more information.

Thank you from the Saltyseadog (eastward of the humber)

The "dinghy type" (Wykeham-Martin) furling gear with no metal tube to roll the sail around and no jib hanks leaves you with either full genoa or nothing. The yacht type allows you to sail with half the genny unfurled. Remember the genoa at 64 sg ft is more than half your sail area, so I guess you'll need the yacht type of furling gear
