This looks like an interesting concept... and promising for the singlehander who doesn't have roller furling.

Dunno how well it would work on a bigger headsail though

I played with this set up when I had Wind Lass. It works good but looks a mess when your tacking or head sail is large. Looks and works best on smaller jibs.

I saw this on TrailerSailor a week or so ago. My wife and I are going to try it out, probably after vacation next week though. I'll let you know how it works out for us.
