Curt, There are furlers available that allow you to drop the furling drum and use a jib that has a bolt rope. You may be able to have the best of both worlds if you can have a loft install a rope slider to replace the hanks on your present sails. You would still need a jib cut just for the furler tho. The first upgrade we made to Flight Risk was to replace the rod forestay with wire, install a Harken Mk IV furler and get a 135% furling jib. The Harken drum is very easily either relocated further down the forestay out of the way of the luff grooves (it has 2 grooves for swapping out bolt rope jibs) or you can take the drum completely off. Our boat came with very nice Mylar racing sails but they were a b#%^* to fold and stow. The furler and jib weren't cheap but sure make a difference in how often I take the boat out. And I can stow the cruising sail by myself ;-). Barbara Hickson Fellers
