I know I'm late to the party, but what the heck.
I worked for Martin VanBreems, a noted tran-oceanic single handed sailor. Martin developed Dutchman specifically for himself and sailors like him.
#1- get a Dutchman sail flaking system. When the main comes down, it is automatically flaked and held on the boom, not all over the deck.
#2- Get a Dutchman sail track system. Your main will drop faster than a $5 whore.
#3- Get a Dutchman boom brake. It adjust up close to the mast. You can hold your boom in place, or adjust it so the boom traverses from side to side slowly. This is especially good when gybing.
There is no finer equipment sold anywhere. And I can attest that it works as advertised. Everything is custom made for your boat, so give it time to receive.
