Re: Can I use FF 4/6 CDI Flexible Furler
Yes, you can. I's just a bigger, heavier version of the one built for the Mac and other light boats. It probably uses a larger pin to attach it to the bow chainplate so you may have to drill out the 1/4" hole on the Mac.
The foil is easy to cut with a hack saw on the top end to fit the Mac forestay. Be sure to cut short enough that there is room for the sail and line to clear the halyard block on the hounds. I've forgotten the measurement but someone else probably has it in memory or can measure it for you.
If the genoa that comes with it was cut to fit that furler, you will have to have the sail cut down to fit the furler length you end up with.
