"The in mast furling system was probably overkill for this setup. It does make it easier to reef the sail single handed (once I realized I had to be directly into the wind ), but I'm not sure it was worth the extra expense."



A fully battened main sail can be driven into the wind without it flogging to destruction.

Very easy to do inshore cruising like ICW , and costs less than mast for roller main.
