Hi Charles
I did leave a suggestion for you last week but it looks like it got lost in hyper space or something.
I fitted a furler to my Trapper 500, which is the English version of a C&C 27. I went for a continuous line furler from a British maker called Sailspar, their are plenty of others including all the big names. I decided to fit a new 6mm forestay at the same time. This type of system eradicates the problem of jamming drums. This package comes with a halyard deflector included. It's turnbuckle runs very freely on stainless steel bearings and the welding and fabrication is of a very high standard. Have a look on the Sailspar website. It's going to be cheaper than a Harken or Selden, I paid £358 complete with forestay and delivery.
Kind regards
Dave Turner
I am the owner of a Trapper 500, which is the same as your C&C 27 mk 1 (with the weird rudder).
I don't have a furling head sail yet so I am about to set one up for next season. The guys on the Trapper website seem to think that anchoring the track to the side decks is not a good idea due to the structure of the deck.
Can anybody tell me if using the 'drill out and resin pack' system will be strong enough. That is to drill over size hole through outer skin to core, remove some balsa and fit grp plug or ferrule using West epoxy. If there is another more common approach please let me know.
