Do I correctly understand you to claim that both of you had Dutchman
systems
installed on your present boats, and removed them to replace them with
your
Doyle system?


I removed my dutchman system. It's in my dockbox. He removed the system
because he carries more than one main and races. As I said, for the
Dutchman you need to convert each sail. The stackpack allows use of any
main without mods.
I notice that no one has addressed the points I made in favor of the
Stackpack. Here they are again and I'd like to see someone, ANYONE
refute these:

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.

Well?
