Hi Arnold: I have an M17 with a Schaefer Snap Furl. Personally, if I was going to rig and de rig the boat everytime I sail, I would not have furling. I keep my boat in dry storage with mast up. I like the Schaefer and had the CDI on a previous boat. As I recall ou can add the drifter on the CDI since it has a spare halyard. On the snapfurl you would have to rig a new halyard. Good luck whatever you decide. Maria Jorge
