Thanks Jeff. We won't be flying a Spinnaker. I think that will be too hard for just the two of us, and way to easy for things to come unglued. At least for a few years anyway, when we have gained considerable experiance.
We have one large Furling Headsail,( no smaller inner self tacking staysail), Mainsail and Mizzen. So I guess what we have will keep it all covered. Although, I was thinking that I may need something to handle the furling control line, to furl in the head when under load, especially if we have the sheet on the winch on that side of the boat.
