Mainsail cover with Dutchman system

[Roc]

I've had the Dutchman since new (OEM from Catalina). Wouldn't have it any other way. Have slits in sail cover so don't need to slacken lines. When I raise the sail I loosen the topping lift slightly so the monofilaments don't get in the way. When lowering the main I tighten the topping lift tight so the sail flakes and the monofilaments keep the sail over the boom. It is easy to use and never had any issues. I would definitely get one on a new main when the day comes.

I am becoming much happier with the system, and would consider Dutchman cringles in a new sail. Only reason I mention a stack pack with a new sail is that is the natural time to consider all options. By that point I will have enough experience with Dutchman that I'll be 100% sure the I either want to get another one or get something else. But so far things are looking good with it.
