[C320-list] Mack Pack

[John Meyers]

We have decided to go with Mack Pack too. In talking with the Mack Pack
person at the Chicago Strictly Sail It sounds like the strips of material
that connect each side of the Pack simply(?) get fed into the track as the
sail rope is fed into the track. This didn't sound too tricky to me but
figure it would take a couple more minutes to accomplish.  But not having
done it yet, I too will discover just how much more difficult it is. I
would welcome some words of experience.

I won't be able to order the Pack until I make measurement after the sail
is on the boat. Spring can't come soon enough.
