Nothing to Unrig
The answer to your question in my opinion is 'no'. But please permit me to elaborate on this a little. The roller furling is the only way to go, unless you are a sailing compulsive perfectionist with obsessions for perfect sail trim. There is nothing to unrig as the roller furling becomes your forestay so to speak. This system consists of a tough plastic extrusion that slips over the forestay or headstay, and has a hardware system for rotating the furling extrusion. The leading edge of either the jib or genoa slides into a groove on the rear side of the extrusion. If you get the genoa sail there is no reason to get a jib sail as you only unfurl the amount of sail that you need. If all you need is a jib size sail that day then that is all you unfurl. Get a sock to cover the furled sail. The furler stays installed on the forestay and the genoa stays installed on the furling extrusion. So when you raise or lower the mast the sail is furled and socked and this whole assembly is fasten or unfasten via the pin under the furling hardware from the bow padeye which is the same thing you would do whether or not you had the roller furling installed. As you would have to pin or unpin the forestay (if you didn't have the roller furling) to raise or lower the mast. You never unfasten the mast end of the forestay (unless you are installing new rigging) so when your mast is lowered you need to straighten out the furling extrusion and simply bungee cord or tie it to the lowered mast which will then extend over the bow pulpit when the mast is stored in the forward lowered postion. That means you need to support the roller furling part that extends over the bow or it will get a 'memory' bend in the plastic extrusion. Some don't worry about this and just let it dangle, but I prefer to to keep it straight like the manufacturer recommends. The best support I have seen is a guy took a PVC conduit and cut it length-wise in half and made it long enough to cantilever out over the bow curved sides up to make a 'bed' and layed the plastic extrusion and roller furling hardware in it (that extends over the bow) overlaping the mast back about 5 or 6 feet and tied the whole assembly to the mast. I just use a 1"x2". Ok so maybe the roller furling is a little more work to rig and unrig like 5 extra minutes, but you have to balance that with the headache of going forward to switch out sails everytime you need to reduce or increase sail. Which you do not have to do with the roller furling. You just furl or unfurl the genoa sail. I've had it both ways and as an old man definitely prefer the roller furling, with the boat rigged for single handling with all halyards, lines and sheets leading back to the cockpit.
