My boat utilizes a roller reefing system which you actually roll the sail around the boom. Last fall I sent all the sails to a good sailmaker here near Annapolis to have them checked out and identified for me. (I'm a sail newbie)

I had two main sails one which was the original 35 year old sail and it was unusable. However, the other main sail is in good condition and has another year or two in it, although it is about 18 inches short on both P and J dimensions. I considered reefing and probably should have, but by that time I decided conditions were not going to get better any sooner and I decided to drop both of them and motor. Another day I will reef and ride.
