Spoken like a true racer. With roller reefing, the correct headsail for all conditions IS the one that is on the furler, with the exception of gale conditions, when you go with a storm sail.

I'm reminded of the stories I've heard of the early days of the automobile. Firefighters refused to adopt powered fire engines for years because they were not as reliable as horses. In my town this persisted well beyond the point when they were.
