Fixed - and damn proud of it!

Actually, I don't have an opinion either way, but I do have the standard full sail with the dutchman rig. I have never had the main anything but fully stretched out. Not saying there are no advantages, I am just not smart enough to know about any. :redface:

How do you run a loose footed mainsail with the dutchman system? The lines need something to pull against to allow the sail to stack doesnt it?
Thanks

Now I get it

Paul, I see where you are going. Not a bad idea. I do like the stack pack idea as it seems pretty nice.
