In boom furling: the battens are parallel to the boom and roll up with
the sail.

I have a Hunter 426 DS on my right with the FurlBoom with full battens
and a Hunter 356 on my left with a Seldon in mast furler and the Doyle
Swing Batten Main

Now how do you roll up the main, with the battens still in?

So, you're a pimp. Ok. I get it.

Yes you can. I had them on my previous boat. It was a 16 foot
trimaran. It had vertical battens, and the main furled on the mast.

Most of what you say makes sense, but I don't see why you said that a
mast
furled main would have limited roach.

You can't have battens on a roller furling main.

Well if you had stated that in the first instance you might have more
sensible replies!

Wrong again, Ozzy. Got all the info I required by leaving out the details. I
play this group like a 2 dollar kazoo.

For a cruising boat 35-40 feet, how much performance is lost with an

Well, hell; since no one is replying seriously,

Jeeeze. I did my best!
Don't be so contemptuous.

Sorry.

My personal time delay between posting and reading is to blame. When I
composed my post I had only seen a couple of the usual "You suck!"
"No! You suck!" posts. After I posted I saw that there had then been
several realistic answers.

Next time I'll just follow my usual practice of lurking while the
regulars sort it out.

No, no, Nooooo.

You mustn't take me too seriously! My comment was in jest.

Not what I was asking about, Ozzy. Sought general opinions, not race
penalties
or windage factors. Toot Toot, Ozzy's wrong again!

Bwahahahahahaha! And I'm nuts!

You jealous?

But I'm not. I don't take any of their money.

Vertical battens? Got any pics?
