We have a Seldon in-mast furling system with an original Catalina factory mainsail on our 309. We have found the system to be not as reliable as we would like it to be.
Further, we would actually prefer a Stack Pack main configuration (i.e., regular mainsail + lazy jacks + fancy zip-up sail cover).
We're not trying to start a debate between in-mast furling and Stack Packs.
Rather, we have two simple questions:
1) Has anyone changed out their in-mast furling system for a Stack Pack, and if so, any thoughts/regrets?
2) Has anyone replaced their original Catalina factory mainsail with a better mainsail and acheived better in-mast furling performance?
The crew of PHOTON (#54) thanks you for your comments/thoughts!
