There is an interesting article in Practical Sailor reviewing roller furlers for asyms. In general, it seems they were mostly positive as far as simplifying hoisting, lowering, furling, and unfurling.
I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience with them for a small cruising boat.
I single hand my Catalina 27 and was going to add a asym with a sock this summer, but the roller furling seems like a better solution. The only problem I would have is that I don't have a pole to mount the drum.
