Not my experience. In fact, from what I saw of the Dutchman, you drop
the
sail and didn't even have to touch it further before putting on the
cover.
It simply falls into place neatly flaked on the boom.



Like any system, even the Dutchman needs some help from time to time
and it can out of whack from the wind when coming down. After a few
years of regular sailing it can really lose it's flaking snap. The
Doyle system continues to work well, even with older mains.
Of course the Doyle doesn't have the step of putting on the cover at
all and when it's zipped up, it's really sealed.
When the Doyle system is reefed, the excess sail is neatly hidden in
the cover!

Anyone want to tackle the other points....here they are AGAIN!

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.
