Does a roller furler complicate mast raising and lowering?

Post by CentralCA0ceaNut »

I am trying to decide whether or not to add a roller furler system to a Cape Dory Typhoon. I am wondering if it complicates raising and lowering the mast as I will be trailering the boat without a slip.

I'm guessing that it would only complicate the process, but to what degree?
