Guy,

I use Lazy Jacks on a full batten main which is free footed. I'm very,
very happy with it. I can draw my jacks into the goose neck or deploy
them loosely as the wing picks up.

I can use a nice roach and the full battens on the main to give me
great sail shape,

With the free footed sail, Reefing is easy and the use of Cunningham
and Flattening reef is available.

I used a single line reefing for awhile but I prefer dropping the sail
enough in the jacks to set the clew & Tack reef points and re-hoisting
from the mast.
