The Battcar system has so little friction that I can raise the main

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.
=============================================
I was out at Nantucket several years ago and watched a 70 something
ketch sail into the harbor that was obviously equipped with Battcars
and lazy jacks. They dropped and stowed both main and mizzen in the
space of about 30 seconds. It was almost unbelievable.
