;^), unless you're going to be withdrawing money instead of ... :^)

We use and ATN sleeve with our 2,000 SF asymmetric chute. With an autopilot, I can set-it and get it back in most wind and seaway conditions that we set the chute in. It's the best sysstem.

In my opinion: A furler (like a Code 0) with a big chute is harder to store. I haven't found it andvantagous. IF you were single handing all the time, and were deploying it, furling it, deploying it, etc. -- the I might consider it. It clearly is less fun to find a place to store on a "normal" sized boat with other people on the boat.
