MAINSAIL TRIM WITH FURLING MAIN

[MARK]

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A CATALINA 36MKII WITH IN MAST FURLING. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THE MAIN IS PROPERLY TRIMED? IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY TELLTALES, SHOULD I ADD SOME? ALSO CAN DOYLE ADD SWING BATTENS TO MY EXISTING SAIL?THANKS, MARK

Hi Mark, Welcome to the Doyle Sails Forum.Yes you can and should add telltales to your leech. You may wish to contact our loft in Chicago, and talk to John or Nate.And, Sorry, but no, swing battens can not be added to your conventional RF Main.
