under-bridle roller furling : H428 $180
I just bought one, for $180 from www.harkenstore.com  seemed like a good deal.

Harken Italy page shows picture.

I thought it was only going to be the bottom piece, but it came with the top piece also.
I am making a small "cage" to keep the line on the drum.  I'll try to post some pics.

That's not a bad deal, the
That's not a bad deal, the "High Load Harken" is around $265    The "below bridle" furler looks like it actually attaches to the bridle wires.  Is that correct? I'm guessing the bridle wires would have to be shortened a inch or two on each wire?  Is that correct?
If I end up buying a new one, I'm leaning towards the: "RONSTAN Series 60 Gennaker Furler"

I know this guy that is removing a Harken furler from his Tiger because he is switching to a full batten jib but Im not sure if it will retrofit to a P19 I imagine Salty Dog marine can make you some new bridles wires pretty reasonable to make it work I can give you the guys email address if you want more info.

I will be at the dike this weekend and will get the info from you.  Shortening the forestay isn't a big issue.  The bridle wires I can make myself.
