Are these generally good to use or do they present a problem if you want to slip a line out in a hurry?

Bulwarks are not very fashionable now. Apart from the example already given, I can only think of the Bowman 40, though I am sure there are a number of Motorsailers sporting them.
The closed fairleads are no trouble, makes it easy to rig chafe preventers.
Would you care to elaborate on how you would rig a chafe preventer - sounds like something I could definitely make use of
Thanks
I think others that have had an 'eye' fairlead have been the Laurent Giles and Tradewinds.
Have any of you been tempted to fit 'open' fairleads on top of the bulwarks/toerail?
