Jib furling gear? yay or nay or neither better nor worse?
My little Seahawk has a furling jib and I have been practicing raising and lowering the mast ready for my first trip of the year,
My old boat had a hanked jib and I found this a easy procedure,my seahawk however has a furling jib, I am seriously thinking of ditching this and just using a hanked on sail as it seems simpler less lines easier to raise and lower .......
Could I get some opinions on the disadvantages or advantages or is it just a suck it and see adventure....

All the best.
