Dougall-
I am very remiss in not contacting you
months ago regarding my experience with my new Furlboom which
was installed on my Freedom 45 sailboat in late spring 2011 by
Sail Place, Waukegan, IL. I love it! The boom works as
advertised. I had some reservations about the free standing
carbon fiber mast, but those concerns disappeared the first
time I raised and lowered the main. There have been no
problems to date. And the new Doyle main has also performed
without a hitch. I enjoy using the boat so much more now that
sail handling is a snap. And I can sail safely and confidently
with inexperienced crew.
Thank you for your help and
encouragement.

"So,
is FURLBOOM the next big step in yachting? As far
as this writer and the dozens of FURLBOOM owners
are concerned... the answer is a resounding
YES."
