roller reefing main

Anyone any thoughts on roller reefing onto the boom. There's a video from Inmon Yachts that looks tempting.

Hi Jim

Adrian is the man to ask, he has a full roller boom system on his X.

It's expensive, and you may need a new sail as well so the battens don't foul.

You can rig a standard sail with single line reefing for a lot less, with reef lines and halyard back to the cockpit. Makes reefing easy!
