There Sure is!!!
This coming from "An Old Single Hander", Lazy Jacks for your Main Sail;
A Auto Pilot, as Scotty said, with a remote control, and the best of
all; A Pilothouse with inside steering station.
That Furler is a HUGE step forward in singlehanding. Without it I would
never sailed into my Late 70's, with a neuro disorder. I love
singlehanding!! What a way to clear your mind.
db, if you don't have Lazy Jacks there is a very inexpensive solution.
If you want, I'll explain how to set it up. E-mail me. I also have Half
ass solution to the inside steering for bad weather. Here in the high
Latitudes, I found it very nice to get out of the weather and had my
previous boat rigged for foul or cold weather sailing
