Default not a bad day

Do you have any sort of track system for your main?

I also had a downhaul but the furler is just so much easier that I now
sail at times when I would never have done so before. I sail on the
ICW betwen bridges when before it was just too much of a pain to raise
and drop, raise and drop the jib between bridges. I sail on winding
channels where I can quickly furl when going dead into wind and then
unfurl when it turns enough. I never have the wrong headsail up as I
can go from about a 150 down to about a 105 easily and whn going
downwind can even furl it much smaller. I also didnt want to spend the
$ but figured that it would make single handing more practical and it
changed my whole sailing experience even with sufficient crew. I no
longer have to try to direct somebody else to go forward to set up the
jib or allow somebody else to steer while i do it all the while I give
them steering directions from the bow while I am hanking on the jib.
