Default main sail mast furling

Naw, learn to sail with a little softness in your main luff, and
take it easy! Don't reef until later. Keep your leach under
control, and luff, a little. Can you stretch a roller reefed mail
luff? Can you schwoosh it? You do have a system to reef in really
strong winds, eh? How well do you trust an in mast system to
improve your sailing skill? Complicated machinery complicates
things. When an in mast furler jams, and it will, reef you shall,
or perish. Carry a fire axe, for the mast, Billy.

You could set a record, and go around the world 3 times without
service, and just let one lousey cotter pin fail, and BLOOIE! No
residuals.

No, you can't find our Web Site. It's secure. Even against moles.
W're face to face, in a Double Glass Earthquake room, jammed,
blocked, spoofed, discrete. I.R. fog button? Goggles?"

Don't call. We've too much business, already.

I would like to know if the performance of the sail is diminished with main
sail that is furled in the mast versus the conventional type sail?
