Guys:

I have a small block with a becket on mine on a piece of line long enough to go from a cleat on the front crossbar to the furler. I run the line from the furler through the block and tie to the bridle by the furler. This gives me a 1 to 2 purchase . For every foot I pull it furls 2. Works great for sitting between races.
