Boom Furling Pros and Cons, Please
Single handed circumvention is a dream born from desperation for reliable help and risky personality matches. Simplicity in handling your sails can go a long way in making it a single handed or short handed trip. Add a electric whinch and whoa, your'e on your own!

Someone once said that you loose about 20% sail power because of a boom furl configuration and battened mainsails are not intended for boom furls.
