I have a boom furling main on a peterson. All you said is true with the problems and benefits. If short handed ( two of us) and we always are; we reduce sail early and I can control the halyard and the boom furler at the same time - we do round up a bit to take the pressure off. I find I have to release the boom vang in order to raise or lower the main.

Does anyone else have this drama????
