??? What issues? This video just shows how it works. You are talking nonsense again. North has makes more money off the Dutchman than a loft like Doyle. Doyle is the EXCLUSIVE seller of the stackpack, but also sells the Dutchman. It's obvious why North "prefers" the Dutchman, but it's simply not the best. Downside of the Dutchman: 1) Chafing 2) quite a pain to remove your sail. 3) Does not fully protect the sail when covered. 4) Works VERY poorly as the sail ages. 5) Can foul on battons on some rigs. Downside of the Stackpack: 1) Added windage when sail is down 2) Minimal loss of effective SA (I feel, though others say no) Advantages of Doyle Stackpack: 1) FULLY protects the sail when covered 2) Requires no holes or mods on sail. 3) No chafing or fouling issues. 4) Very easy to remove, while leaving lazy jack system and sail in place-better for racing/cruising boats. 5) Works great, even as a sail ages 6) Sailcover is integrated, so less work. Bart, ask around. Both systems are excellent, but anyone who's had/used both is willing to pay for the stackpack twice. The advantages of the stackpack are very clear, even if you haven't used either. Rather than talk about "meds" perhaps you can explain why you think the Dutchman is better, asside from a loft (who wants your money) telling you so. RB 35s5 NY |
