Does anyone have experience with one of these main-furling systems?

I'm considering putting one on my current boat, if I choose to keep her
for a while longer. But I'm open to other suggestions. I'm not a fan of
in-mast furlers. Too risky, considering a jam with the sail half-furled
could be disastrous to the sail--or boat-- if caught in a blow. And mast
furlers don't allow for horizontal battens--I'm not sold on the new
vertical battens yet.

Any suggestions will be welcome.


My experience with in boom furling is dated.... but none of it would entice
me to ever have such a system aboard any vessel I owned. Maybe they have
improved the system since then.
