Is anyone familiar with the Leisure Furling Boom System? The boat we are looking has one with a Hood Vectran main and genoa. Are the Hood Vectran Sails better than the Hood Dacron sails?

I have sailed on vessels with three different in boom furling systems and I've owned a Furlboom on my H410 for 8 season. all these modern in boom furling systems work as advertised. you can reef at virtually any point of sail. horizontal battens makes for great sail shape, and the sail handling is incredibly easy. the Leisure Furl is the most idiot proof of the three systems, and is reflected by the price, if you were to purchase as an after market item. would highly recommend the system. I wouldn't own another large boat without a in boom furling system. can't speak to the Hood sails.
