[C320-list] In Boom Furling

[Robert Seastream]

I have in mast furling.  I've thought in boom would be better; in the 
event of a 'furling failure' I thought I could always manually drop the 
sail anyhow and secure it to the boom.  With the in mast furling, I'd 
have to figure out someway to secure it to the mast...and I'd only be 
able to reach so high.  The line below about 87 degrees being critical 
for in boom bothers me a bit.  I didn't know it was so fussy.
