anxiety in buying a boat

The problem with a roller furling mainsail in an area with predominantly lighter winds is that the reduced sail area and poorer sail shapes means that there will be a lot of days when you might have been able to sail with a conventional mainsail but can''t with a roller furling mainsail.
