It's a Schaefer and was installed by the PO. He
went with the BETA, which is borderline too small
for the boat. But it works. Just have to be
very careful about the thickness of the main or
it will not fit. Our new UK main barely
fits. Having a full battened main is a good
thing and so is reefing the main from the cockpit
with ease. Just roll it down on one of the
battens and you're done. Overall, I love it!

He also installed an electric winch for the main
halyard too. To be honest, I would probably not
have done this myself...but I am sure glad he did!
The rigid vang is a bit of a bother, as I
mentioned, as tuning the main is limited. But
rolling up the main requires a strict 87.5 degree
angle. I could probably replace the rigid vang
with an adjustable, so long as it has a way to
set and hold that angle when furling the
main. But that's pretty far down on the "list."
