Dave...I've seen NO ONE in any forum pick a Dutchman over Stackpack.
But that asside, why not address the points I made?

1) Stackpack keeps the sail completely covered. Dutchman does not.
2) Stackpack does not poke holes in the sail. Dutchman mods the sail
with holes and plastic fittings.
3) Stackpack works well, even as the sail becomes older. Dutchman has
problems with older sails.
4) Stackpack allows for quick removal of the entire covered main.
5) Stackpack can be removed for racing (That's correct, Thom). Dutchman
is a mess to remove.
6) Stackpack allows for neater reefing. Dutchman reefing is messy by
comparison/
7) Stackpack never chafes. Dutchman can chafe.
8) Stackpack will work with more than one main...your current
inventory. Dutchman requires EACH sail to be modded.

That's a LOT of strikes against the dutchman. You can argue a few, but
not all. Doyle Stackpack is the winner for a cruising boat. While the
Doyle system can be removed for racing, I'd pick neither on a boat that
was to be campaigned.
As for Thom's worries about windage, it's really minimal, just a few
inches higher than the covered main at the mast and barely any higher
as it goes aft. The Sweden 39 owner, which has a pretty big rig, has
had absolutley no problems with it and he's on M dock where there's
more wind at the slips. He had the Dutchman system as I did before.
