Rob,
When I am out for a cruise I will use my roller furl only - upwind,
reaching and downwind. A lot less hassle and i am not worried about
someone losing their head to the boom or fingers to the main traveler.
The roller furl is 140% and most importantly the helm is balanced going
upwind. Main only, the boat is a dog upwind.

Interesting comments for sailing down wind......my preference is to
sail with the main alone....leave the jib furled.....my boat, a 32,
feels better balanced, better control of the sail, the bow is not
being pulled downward, better helm.
Would I rather unfurl and furl a jib over hoisting and folding a main,
you bet.....but my boat preforms better with the main alone, or at the
least, I think it does.
