Alado nautica roller furler absolute worthless pile of crap

[svtosca]

Regarding Practical Sailor's review of the Alado furler. You can contact Ralph Naranjo, author of The Art of Seamanship: Evolving Skills, Exploring Oceans, and Handling Wind, Waves, and Weather, and one of the most respected independent voices in sailing about "being paid" to write that article. Practical Sailor accepts no compensation for any of its reporting and no advertising, never has, for nearly 50 years. The process of evaluating products is imperfect because of the short duration of our testing, but the magazine supplement it with input from users. If you have a particular problem with a report that appears in the magazine contact the editor. He regularly publishes letters that poke holes in the initial testing. Edited for 16 years by a long-time liveaboard sailor with long experience and a heart of gold, the magazine's only mission is to provide useful information to cruising sailors. It makes mistakes. And when it does, it makes every effort to correct them. Full stop.

Just an FYI. Alado Canada, ALADO Canada - Headsail Reefing and Furling System, will now be serving US customers. Same great furlers with attentive service.
