Agreed on the stack pack. We've just had ours a couple months, but the main
is so much easier to deal with that we go out more often, and with less stress.
Especially on our new (to us) bigger boat, it's really nice to head up to the
wind, release the main halyard and have the sail drop into the stack pack. No
muss, no sail flaking, no putting the cover on.
Kindest Regards,

Years of racing J24s, J30s & Etchells, never thought I'd have a furler. Now a
little older, wiser and sporting a Stackpack too.
Not the fastest setup, but still finding a way to win club races. And my wife
and I can be off the mooring and sailing in minutes. Put-away is just as quick.
I am sure we use our boat many times more than those around us just because it
is so easy. No sail- folding arguments either!
Enjoy!

You will never regret putting a furler on your boat.

Tapestry is all original from '81, no
'conveniences' of furler, self tailers, clutches, or any modern
rigging. It's kind of interesting being the throwback to older
times among all the jazz on my dock. Alas, I asked our rigger
to quote a Schaefer furler last week.
