[quote=benedict]No, I think your observation is right on the money. And I think this is why most roller furlers on monohulls include a rigid forespar. With the wire rope forestay like I have on mine (and it sounds like you do, too), I've got two settings: sail furled / sail unfurled. With a rigid forespar it seems like you'd have everything in-between, too.
But I'd still take the lighter weight and what seems like easier setup the flexible forestay offers.

P.S. Wind is looking questionable today. I might be able to get out this afternoon, but it's looking a little sketchy. Sailing is no fun in zero mph wind. :([/quote]
