I run a Furlex rolling furling on my head sail. My boat is a 7/8 factional rig and the jib 110%. The thing that I see far to often is the guys trying to reef 140 or 150 head sail. It will never have a good shape. With a 110% head sail I can reef to 50% of head sail and still have a useful sail for heavier winds.
Many furling failures I have seen over the years are nothing more that running to large of head sail and blaming a furler that was never designed for a head sail as large as the sailor wants it to carry.
