Default Hood Sto-boom


Any suggestions will be welcome.



Well.....I've sailed a few boats this season with Dutchman's,
stackpacks and in-spar furling systems. In mast furling and electric
hoists are laughable...until you use them.
I think the sto-boom has been around for 15 years or more and is well
liked, but I've only seen it (on an Endeavor) and never used it
underway. You will keep your old boom of course for the purist buyer
coming at you.
It seems like a bit too much trouble and expense if you're in any way
serious about moving to a different boat.
Do you have a stackpack or other system for handling the main?
Also...are you aware of the swing batton systems for in mast furlers?
