For a cruiser I believe a roller furler on the jib will make your boat on average FASTER. Thats because you'll use the jib more, and often carry a lot of sail that you wouldn't otherwise. I also found we frequently sailed with just the 150 genoa to go out for a swim. Without the furler we'd have motored. The only time I am really worried on a boat is when the engine is running!
