Commander 227

The furling line entrance is in the chain locker and I shimmed it up to prevent most deck wash from running in. I don't mind a little water getting in.
The furler is 1:2 not 2:1 so it is harder to pull, not easier. the point was to be able to roll it up quicker with less line on the cockpit floor. the head sail rolls up so easy that I didn't feel I needed the 1:1. Your right Dawg, it is MC inspired.
I like to sit pretty far forward in the cockpit, and I go to the traveler more than the mainsheet when sailing to weather so the continuous loop does not work too well for me. I just leave the leeward side uncleated.
