They also included a custom video they made that shows how to install it, and it must be good because even I didn't screw it up. I got mine from the Rigging Loft in New Bedford at a sailboat show and they through in the stanchion fairlead blocks for free. Unless you are used to sailing 35 knots I think the sacrifice you make in aerodynamics is worth it. The cylindrical (sp?) shape makes the furling motion very easy, especially during those first few turns, and it's probably easier on the sail as well. Unlike a lot of other furlers that are cut "Aerodynamically" the Schaeffer unit is a pure cylinder of burnished stainless. Tim is also right about it's appearance in that it is a very attractive unit. The price difference between new and recut is not enough, in my opinion, to warrant taking that approach. I had a new genny made for it and strongly recommend you do the same. I have had this Schaeffer unit for 3 years and have been very pleased.
