Howdy! the in mast furling main on our 2008 Beneteau 43 is past due for replacement. To insure this we recently improperly furled it in such a way that we wrapped and snapped one of the vertical battens. after a few hours up the mast we were able to free it and remove the sail. Not before we ripped it.
What is current state of design for in mast furling main sails? Are vertical battens still used? What is best material? Can anyone recommend a the best sailmakers to connect with about this?
thanks,
DPW
