This past season I have been singlehanding on my Ericson 38 using a UK
main with their "Lazy Cradle" version of the doyle "Stackpack", in
combination with a Harken Battcar Batten Traveler system. I could not
be more pleased.

The Battcar system has so little friction that I can raise the main
from the helm by hand, with the winch only needed for the last 6".
When it comes time to drop the main I can cast off the halyard and the
entire main drops inside the lazy jacks-sail cover.

Storing the main is a simple matter of running the zipper forward
along the sail cover, and moving the halyard from the headboard to the
storage location on the cover. Highly recommended.
