hoisting and lowering it must be easy, as must reducing the surface area when the wind level increases.</P> <P>The Hood Easi-Stow Mainsail simplifies all these operations, and doesn't require a numerous and expert crew. </P> <P>When reefing, the long battens prevent the mainsail from flapping violently while you're adjusting the halyard and reefing lines.</P> <P>At the end of your day's sailing simply ease the halyard and tighten up the lazyjacks: the battens will keep the sail inside the lazyjacks running from the mast to the boom without need for any other intervention.<BR><BR></P></TD> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt; COLOR: blue" vAlign=top align=middle width="30%"><IMG height=102 alt="" src="http://www.hoodaustralia.com.au/editimages/ACF9EE6.gif" width=150

thanks to its extruded fibreglass battens.</P></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black" vAlign=top align=left colSpan=2> <P><STRONG><BR><FONT size=3>Standard main</FONT></STRONG> </P>
