If you bought proper hanked on sails you will not need rotting foam
and other types of dunnage used to maintain a proper sail shape.

Sorry dude, but I single-hand all the time. Hank on sails are fine when you
don't have to reef often by yourself.

I agree wholeheartedly.

It took me years to change to a roller furler due to a number of
reasons including thoughts of the thing malfunctioning in heavy
weather and having to pull the whole sail out to get it down.

A friend of mine who had circumnavigated solo in her 30 footer without
an engine convinced me. It is safer being a single hander being able
to reef etc from the cockpit, faster and much less effort. I'm not
racing so why would any less than perfect sail set worry me?
