Furler for lightwind sails

[aybabtme]

While waiting for our bigger boat build, I'm sailing a Seawind 1000 XL2 and am on an adventure to try out all sort of sails. Currently the boat is equipped with a screecher on a Facnor furler.

I'm getting new lightwind sails made and I'm considering changing the furler to be able to deploy those sails as well.

• A2 asym
• Flat luff code-zero for upwind.

I sail single-handed 99% of the time (wife is handling our toddler).


Which furler would you recommend? I'm currently thinking of the Harken Reflex with:

• Loose tack quick-connect for the A2
• Cable-less quick-connect for the code-zero.

Would you recommend something else entirely? I heard Profurl's SPINEX is really good, but I'd like a single furler if I can. Another alternative is to add an adapter to my Facnor furler for the A2, but I'm not a big fan of that furler right now, it's sort of falling apart and the continuous line jumps out of the drum all the time.

We had a Profurl Nex 5.0 which has now been superseded, but it was a great flying furler. Look Here: https://www.profurl.com/en/flying-sa...ers-nex-spinex

Profurl Nex 2.5 works well on our boat. Very easy to deploy and furl from the cockpit and will easily handle any sails on a SW1000.

We use a sock for the asym
