[C320-list] Changing from regular mast to a furling mast

[Pat Moriarty]

It would require a new sail and mast for inmast and you can get a better 
shape with boom furling for less money. We have 6 C320 boats at our marina 
and only one has a furling main and it is boom and looks nice. The mast 
furling gives up roach so you end up with less sail and they are not as 
easy to roll as you might think. In Tahiti it took 2 of us to roll up the 
main on a Gib Sea 47 and right then I knew that I would never have an 
interest. I love the Dutchman, hit the clutch and the sail is down. On the 
boom furl you have to hoist the sail and crank it in too, so no free ride 
there either.
