My boat (just purchased) came with a furling jib as an option but I immediately removed it. I may experiment with it down the road just for fun, but I would only rely on a downhaul in any weather where it really mattered. A jammed furled is just too great a risk in my opinion. If you’re going out on the ocean just put up the smallest jib the “heavy weather jib”, often mistakenly called a “storm jib”, and eliminate the need to reef or go forward at all. You’ll be surprised how little performance you lose and safety will be vastly improved, as well as sail shape over a reefed sail, regardless of who made it. If you don’t have the heavy weather jib, you should have one anyway. You’d be better spending money on a well made heavy weather jib than a lighter reefable roller furling jib and all the crap that goes with it. And you’ll save money to boot! Just my opinion!
