[C320-list] In Boom Furling

[Richard A. Walker]

Kirk it is the boat not the furler.  I know since I always was in the pack
at the 2 regattas.

Cheers,

A friend of mine just bought a used Morgan 38CC, with in mast furling. The 
boat is the slowest in the fleet, his old C30 Tall Rig was always in the top

3 so he's dissappointed. The sail is cut very high, has no roach and just 
wont drive that boat. I would definitely go with in boom furling over 
in-mast, or probably just specify an electric halyard winch with a standard 
sail.
