An easy downwind sail

Having procrastinated for too long on a downwind sail solution for my cursing boat, this is what I came up with. A 170% very deep cut code 0 type sail on its own continuous line furler, nothing special about that, except I fly it from inside the forestay on the Solent rig fittings.
Works well. It's range is 80 degrees to about 140.
No pole needed, no sock to get tangled, so hopefully I will get a lot of use from it.
