Hood and I think one other had a single line furler some years back, There might be a reason why they are no longer on the market. As far as my experience, the Hood worked O.K., as long as the line was new but would slip if the line was worn the least little bit.
Then the logistics and drag of running a line from the bow to the cockpit and back. A buddy and next slip neighbor has his furling line lead thru the coaming with the cleat in it's own "coaming box" and stores the "spaghetti" there I'm gonna make the same mods when I get around to my long planned but not yet started deck upgrade.
