I have in-mast furling. What would you consider "operator error"?
What is this litany of horor stories about furling disasters. In my
experience I have come across a few folks that have had occational
furling problems, but nothing I would consider a litany of disasters.

Thank you all for your experiences and opinions. At this point if two
boats
were close I'd go with the stackpack option over in-mast furling. If a
boat
is clearly superior, in-mast furling will not disqualify it from
selection.
In-mast furling seems to be more susceptible to "operator error". What did
not appear here, and what I was nervous about, was a litany of horror
stories of furling disasters.
thanks again.
