Lawrence,
Gypsy Mariner (TM36) has a ProFurl LC32. It's about 10 years old now. It works really well and has been quite durable. With a ketch, the forestay length is shorter than the same sized boat with a sloop rig, so you can usually get away with a "smaller" size.

Thanks, Mike. I was looking at the ProFurl, because I like the open design and I understand it is the only brand with sealed bearings. I had a Harken on my Ericson 35 and it worked just fine for the 12 years I owned the boat. I appreciate your comments. -- lmk

Oops, I better get with the program and identify myself correctly. I think it's an excellent idea to include the boat name, Bill. That way we can all go over to the "owners" section and check out the boats.
