I have a Facnor type furling system for a large asymetric. It works great.

I have not tried furling it with twin sheets attached yet. It seems to me it should work fine just as it does for the Genny but its a pretty big sail, obvioulsy thin cloth compared with the Genny and it furls pretty tightly.

I wonder if anyone leaves twin sheets attached with furling asymetrics?

I do on my Facnor AFX (the old type with furling line attached to the middle of the luff).
My sheets is rigged for outside gybe - no problems encountered.
