Jim at Neil Pryde in Stratford,Ct. is a great help. BTY the main does feed into the foil - I don't know where you found the "rigging guy" ; he is wrong.

Sorry, but I'm late to this thread...and it sounds like you've sorted it out....
We (Neil Pryde Sails) are in Stratford, CT should you have any questions.
In the mean time, I've attached the Z-Spar 'roller furling mainsail use' PDF file which will walk you through the basics of installation and set up.
This should cover most of the points and specifically proper installation of the main.

Bob.... Thanks for the information! Once I got my hands and eyes in there is was very straight forward. Guess with everything going on when first purchased the boat, thought having someone walk me through would be easier...... but alas...... Printed and in the boat folder. Again thanks!

Excellent! I'm sure your list is still pretty long with the new boat...but should come together for a great summer of sailing. Check with Prestige Yacht Sales (HQ in Norwalk CT) They are going to do a rendezvous for Beneteau owners, second week of August in Essex CT up the river. I will be there, doing and onland and onwater seminar.
Great chance for you to meet other owners and fill your notebook with great info.
