Dear Mr. Brookes,

Once in a decade or two, yachtsmen are truly delighted by a product. A product that increases safety for short-handed sailing, is absolutely simple to use and has simplicity in design and installation is noteworthy of mention.

Your new Furlboom fitted to my new Hunter Passage 42 is such a product.

The unit operates faultlessly and reefs effortlessly while still seated in the cockpit. A great party trick with friends is to raise or reef with a glass of champagne in one hand. My more serious sailing friends confirm they have never seen a better system.

I fully endorse the above and wish your company great success in the future for a "Quantum Leap" product.

Best Regards,

Chris Venter

Hunter Passage 42 Owner
