Hi Luke, If you're 33-2 is older than '86, you probably have the C&C extrusion and Klacko in Ontario should be able to help you with a solution. If ´86 or newer, the mast would be an Offshore spar.
The furler is slower because it takes some time to furl the sail opposed to pull the sock down. Pure racers would not used any of those, but for recreational I doubt there is a difference. Depending of the furler, it could be more complicated to be able to adjust the tack line, mine is fixed on a Facnor. The furler will always furl, torque rope quality is important here. But if you want a "clean" furl that will then unfurled properly, you need to uses it of caution and keep some tension on the sheet. Not problem cruising, but For more heated situation at a mark rounding, not always ideal. The sock will do the job quickly, unless it is jammed, but with a good one like an ATN, it's very unlikely to happen if handled properly. Hope that helps.

The local phrf will give me a 6s credit if I ditch the pole, which is surprising. I'll look up the mast mfr, I just assumed they were out of business. Pete, why do you say the furler is slower? Does if affect boat speed or just the time to roll and unroll vs douse?

If you choose to go with a furler, you will need that clearance for the top swivel. It gets crowded up there with the jib furled. My boat is a 1987 with a mast made by Offshore, I ordered the spinnaker mast bail from them. The furler is safe tu use singlehanded, but slow and expensive. A good sock would be my choice because it is faster for racing short handed. Love the bowsprit!

I also fly only Asyms. For the longer distance races I sail I wouldn’t go back to sym. Simple, fast and less crew needed. I don’t use a top down furler so can’t help you there. From those that I know that do, a sock has same reliability and a lot cheaper. If racing, check with you local rating officials to make sure you understand the adjustments that will be applied. Hope that helps.

I'm interested in any information from folks here that have done a similar conversion: positives, negatives, cautionary tales? One thing I'm concerned about is that my mast does not have a crane, the spinnaker halyards exit right next to the genoa halyard. If I add a top-down furler I'm nervous everthing is gonna get a bit congested. Have any of you added a masthead crane to move the halyards out a bit?
