In-mast furling: out of place on a serious offshore yacht?

[1bobt]

I have not ploughed my way through all of this thread but has anyone pointed out that the largest purchaser of yachts with the most comprehensive knowledge of failures at sea, that is companies like Moorings and Sunsail [ OK Tui ] have moved away from in mast furling and are buying slab reefing set ups.

Maybe they know something?

Yes the yacht master certificates are not worth the paper they are written on ,you only need to see what they get up to down here in the Cyclades when they are sailing and again when parking with their blown out sails flying in the wind.

It's got little to do with in mast reefing!
