My understanding is that the cost to switch to in-boom furling from
regular main is about $8,000 for boats to 36': for coastal Leisure
furl boom (about $4K) and installation, new mainsail designed for
in-boom furling, sail track for main boltrope & installation on
existing mast, and sheets/halyard. You can check with Leisure furl.
