I’ve decided to look into fitting a roller furling unit on my Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20 sv Dulcinea, hull #302, and have decided on going with a Profurl unit. Speaking with the factory rep this morning, I was informed the Profurl C260 would work – but would be approaching the suggested limit with a 135% jib.
The Profurl C290 is much stouter, but much more expensive. I would like to fit the Profurl C260 unit and use the savings to help offset the purchase of a new jib with a foam luff.
What are folks’ opinions who have used the Profurl C260 or C290?
Any thoughts will be most welcome.
Profurl C260 or C290?
