Which Schaefer Furler for 2008 models?

[wcconway]

Does anyone know if the 2008 models (our hull is #467) have the new Schaefer Furlers with the lubrication access fitting or one of the older systems? If it's an older system, does anyone know if there is a warranty upgrade? We must now use our winch to furl the jib it has gotten so difficult to furl. The rigger is going out this week to take a look at it (again), but over the last year we have noticed that furling the jib has degraded to the point that we must put the furling line on the winch to furl the jib.

Wally,

Give Schaefer a call. That is what I did when ours got stiff. They had a "kit" to fix it and were very familiar with the problem.

Sorry, no idea about when they changed or warranty info.
