[C320-list] In Boom Furling

[Robert Seastream]

Yeah, no battens is another thing we don't like.  Nor are we sure we'd 
be happy with vertical battens.  We've no intention of swapping out our 
in mast for in boom...the cost would be enormous.  We'll just make sure 
our 40 footer has in boom furling!
