Hank-on jib + downhaul line = poor man's roller furling. Haha, that's what I do with mine, because it came with the HORRIBLE wire luff roller furling (original?) jib, and a newer, more crisp, hank-on jib. The old wire luff furler was always sagging, partially because it had old, polyester double braid halyard. It might have been better with a Dyneema cored halyard, and I also understand that Harken small boat wire luff furlers are much better functionally than the plastic Schaeffer unit that was OEM spec for 192/222. With my downhaul, I can quickly douse the jib, cleat off the downhaul so that the head doesn't sail back up the forestay, and cleat off the sheets with the clew amidships, and the sail is perfectly managed on the foredeck, to be bagged later at the dock. Just did it this past weekend in breezy conditions, because I looped back around under main to tow a windsurfer in. A) You know it's breezy when the windsurfers come out, and B) Her boom had popped off the mast, hence the tow. Things were going well, until 2 other windsurfers came up and decided they could get the boom back on the mast, so she wound up sailing in the rest of the way. I was also excited because it was the first time I got a chance to use my kayaking throw bag with floating rescue line. Bought that sucker for the boat "just in case." Now I'm justified!
I think it's definitely easier to step and unstep the mast without a furling foil on the forestay. It's best to have someone manage the furler during these procedures, so the furling drum doesn't bash around, and I tend to be stubborn and want to step and unstep all by myself.
Another reason I haven't moved to a good Schaeffer Snap-Furl system, is that if I did that, I'd be tempted to get a 135% genoa, and then I'd have to run jib track down the side decks, and that would be more outboard for worse sheeting angles. Then again, without a traveler to bring the boom onto the centerline, the boat doesn't point as well as it might. Honestly, the 110% works well enough for me, except those times when I consider getting a hank-on drifter for really light winds.
