Alado furler weight reduction.

[heandonz]

I just purchased a AO Alado furler.Very fast shipping to New Zealand and Alado paid all import and GST taxes as promised.I was impressed.

My only issue is the weight.I am installing it on my 24ft trimaran and would like to keep weight at a minmum.

I understand that the design has some redundancy built in to be able to be used over a wide range of boat length and life time wear but I am contemplating drilling out as much of the body as possable without weaking it structually.

Has anyone done this in the past ??
