Hi iam at gulfharbour may I see it some time. Thanks , I can't work out how one tensions the halyard , I see it goes over the top of the furler head then where ,

The halyard runs around the block at the top, and is fastened at the drum. It runs externally down beside the foil. Excess can be removed or coiled at the base. The big advantage of these foils for a cruiser is the fact that the foil is split, and can be removed from the foredeck, without going aloft, and without removing or detaching the stay. Easy to self service, and basic design.

Sure, come have a look, just give me a call to make sure I'm here. 0221539176,

I've installed Alado fuller in 2014 and we had no problems with it. Easy to assemble.  Only maintenance was repainting feeling drum and occasionally squirt of CRC.
