anxiety in buying a boat
I think for casual sailing, especially in an area with light winds that come and go, you will enjoy having the furling main. If you are going offshore or racing then you could switch, but I would try what you have for a year before deciding.
For me the promising breeze always dies as soon as I have the sail up, so I leave it up and motor until it reappears. I was so happy to get roller furling on my head sail as I was so tired of changing sails up there that sometimes I wasn''t even tempted to put one up. I have thought about getting a furler for my main, but if I do it will be on the boom.
Catalina 36''s are nice boats, I have one parked next to me and some friends at work have one. I think you will enjoy it a lot.
