Beneteau used US Spars mast & furlor on my 2006 vintage boat. Not sure of the history, so your best bet is locate identification on your mast. Others may disagree; however, I wouldn't try to retrofit a used sail from a different model to your boat. These roller furling sails are finicky enough to use. If the used sail is stretched, it will cause problems from the get go, not to mention that it will cost to modify the sail for your mast & furlor. If you are going to replace the sail, buy a new one. When it is time for me to replace mine, I will likely use Neil Pryde as they have a wealth of experience with Beneteaus. I am not so interested in performance, just want a reliable sail that works well with the US Spars system.
Great price!! ................let share how the sail fits, whether the battens are full or partial vertical and your experience furling the mainsail out of and into the mast.
Will do....still have quotes coming in but so far I like the vertically battened Neil Pryde sail if my mast has 5/8” opening which I’m checking tomorrow. So much to do....
A Neil Pryde loft modified my original furling mainsail with vertical battens approximately 7 years ago to their "thin batten and pocket design" The pocket & batten profile is now thinner and eliminates problems when furling / unfurling as long as you maintain suitable tension on the outhaul line as you're furling. Tension on the outhaul results in a tighter sail wrap inside the mast and reduces friction. It was money well spent for me. IF I were to incorporate vertical battens, I would ensure that I would use the Neil Pryde "thin batten/power batten design."
Oh I'm fully a where of the extra roach , researched it and had 5 quotes including Neil pride ,who said don't do it if your opening is only 1/2. Only one sail maker said its fine and that was north ,who I don't think really cared.
