If any one with in-mast furling is considering a new main sail, go and look at Doyle sails and their so called "swing batten" design. (http://www.doylesails.com/sails-swing-batten.htm) - I have installed one on my Nauticat 40 about 2 months ago and what a difference. Compared to the original batten less sail, I now have increased mainsail area and a noticeable performance improvement as well. Instead of the single swing batten as shown on the Doyle web site, the loft installed 2 swing battens on my sail. Needless to say, all this comes at a cost... Cheers, Ronald SV Bremer Speck
