Default Hey, Bart

Total nonsense. The system is much better off the wind, and perhaps a
few
flicks of the wrist is needed to get it to flake perfectly.



I wonder if Ganzy has even used both systems. I notice no one can
dispute the points I made. Chafing is reported even by North. So is the
dirt problem. Read the forums and lots of folks cut the system down
when sails age. You STILL have to battle the sail cover on.
The Stackpack is superior.

I've given plenty of reasons why. Let's see some intelligent discussion
on it if you think otherwise. As I said...both are excellent. The Doyle
system is just easier and neater. In fact, when the Stackpack is
reefed, there's no sail material hanging out. Very nice indeed.
Dutchman has licensed it's system and Doyle has not, so you see more of
the Dutchman system.
