What NOrth Sails recommends for mainsail flaking
already explained that quite clearly. You are no different than Bushco.
Congratulations, hypocrite.
Bart's plug was exactly that and he couldn't even address the
advantages of the Doyle system which improves greatly on the Dutchman
in several respects. 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.
