Has anyone ever had any experience with this company?

I was looking into installing a furling system this year and came across this. It looks quite reasonable and easy to install.
Thanks for your advice.

Chris, I am not familar with that system, but we have a Harken(probably the most expensive) and are glad we do. Little to no maint. and it durable. Barry

I imagine the product is Okay. I seem to remember a PS article on furlers that said it was fine. As I recall they only dinged any of them for parts availability and service. I think the "furler" has been figured out and what ever you buy will probably be fine. I would love to have a Harken but have been very pleased with my CDI. I think I would have bought an Aldous on eBay but they always offer the smaller unit. It should not be used on a Catalina 25. (IMHO)
