I would like to find a good, easy to use, auto-furler for my jib. I often sail alone and going up to the foredeck is not possible. I believe I am using the correct term but correct me if I am wrong. I would like to set up the genoa and be able to let out or take in as much sail as I need from the cockpit.

If you plan on trailer sailing I would recommend the CDI Flex Furler with ball bearings. It's cost, flexibility and lighter weight when raising and lowering the mast make it a very good choice for a C22. There are other brands are out there with plus and minus' but that is the one I would recommend and and used over the past 25 years of trailer sailing a C22.
