I've never had anyone say to me "I'm glad I don't have a furler." I've
heard people say, "I can't afford one" and "I'm putting it on next
season."

Absolutely. In fact, the most common comment I hear is, "We have lots of
things we need to buy for the boat, but the roller furling comes first."

It was high on my list. In fact, it had a furler when the previous owner
bought it, but the mechanism was trashed, so he removed it. He replaced the
stay in 2002, but my rigger replaced it again when he put the furler on. The
cost was minimal.
