Despite what happened on the Hunter 38, I think in mast furling is an awesome idea.
Sure takes the pain out of dropping a sail.
@ dlochner, I'm dropping the mast this storage season so I'll consider the Lazy Jack's. Twice this season I headed in to the harbor to catch my mooring with a 12-15 knot breeze. When the winds out of the SE, Belfast gets lumpy due to the fetch. Add to that dropping a main single handed & things begin to suck pretty quickly. Thanks for that suggestion.
@shemander, I like being on the water & due to back issues the motion of a sailboat allows me to keep doing this. From where I came from, this is the dark side
