Richard, IMHO in mast furling should be avoided if you plan to sail upwind! You lose both sail area and the ability to shape the sail. You also add weight aloft. Single line reefing is a much better option if you are concerned about shortening sail short-handed.
The 37+ has a center aft cabin with a queen berth.
