"Michael,
From experience over three keel boats a fully battened main is almost a requirement.
Not only will it make dropping the sail into the boom bag far easier it certainly reduces any flogging and vastly lengthens the life of the sail. While…"

A belated Happy Thanksgiving to you and thanks for all the references to books and particularly the state law education site regarding boating laws. I'll have to look into that one.
