My thinking of the whole mast
furling thing changed in last weeks 190 Around Long Island Race
We start at 5:20 PM Thursday and sail off into the night towards Montalk with the other 35'
Spinnaker boats and are normal assortment of 50
lines in the cockpit and 12 sail changes over the next 24 hours till we Pass plum-gut and head west on Long Island Sound
So there was the normal wind/no-wind and what pulls up on and easy reaching leg 100 miles later

a Catalina 445 with roller everything in the cruise division
And i gotta say the new
furling mains look pretty dam good
