Sheet tension while furling is a must on the dinghies in any wind but I
haven't strictly needed to on the Tartan unless its blowing. It does help.

We always keep tension on the jib sheet as we furl. No problem with
jamming on any tack in the past twenty plus years. I imagine others do the
same? Not sure if our system is large or small: no basis for comparison.

I inherited a cabin top winch for the main halyard. One simple block
bolted to the mast at deck height routes it back to a clutch in front
of the winch.
Jib halyard winch is on the mast but I also inherited a Harken roller
furler
on the jib.
Four reefing lines for two reefing points and the vang are also routed
back to
the cabintop and clutches.
I'll take photos later. People ask about setting this up now and then.
Local sailing club, Cal Sailing, mostly sails dinghies and the Harken
roller
furlers constantly get fouled. I don't know, but I suspect that size
matters.
Given a choice between a smaller unit and a larger one, go for the
larger
one. The dinghies often can only be furled on a run or else the furling
line
fouls itself inside the unit from the jerking and flogging and a larger
drum
gives more leverage.
