Hi I have read previous posts with interest regarding loving or mostly hating the original furler that is in the anchor locker. It would seem to be a great idea to keep the headsail lower, so I am asking club racers if they keep them or truely hate them. Thanks in advance, and Alan you are a wealth of info. , thanks to all...

I have a below-deck furler that I love. It is not a continuous line furler like my Vision 32 had, rather it is a hood OEM unit. I get a lot of extra sail area with a deck-sweeper. The only downside is vision; you have to be careful to be sure there is noting hidden.

...what Rick said exactly. All my headsails are decksweepers.
