Has anyone got a continuous line furler fitted?

Great selection of mods. I can’t make out how the line runs down the deck from the furler. I’m assuming both lines are going through the existing eyes on the deck. It looks like they are using a single cam cleat to jam the continuous line. Can anyone confirm this?

Can someone confirm that I need 2 cam cleats to hold the line when using a continuous line furler?

Hi Julian, I have a continuous line and use a single cam cleat to secure the line that is under tension. Both lines run through a single fairlead on the foredeck outboard of the samson post and then back to another fairlead just in front of the camcleat.
