Some wisdom in @Freedom77 's post. As I mentioned in another post, the roller reef boom works great to let out a reef but is a PITA to reef in a blow. I did like the roller for storing the main and I usually left my cove with the sail partially roll-furled since letting it out is so easy if the wind was light once I got away from land. But once out, I slab reefed if I needed to shorten sail.J Brock. Spend the $$ and go to a sailmaker and get double reef points put in the main. I ordered mine when I got the boat. Good investment that will save a lot of problems. The roller reefing was one of Rogers goofs. By the time you need to reef you'll be in trouble. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
