>maybe a 'shelf'installed at the foot

I put a new main on Dolphin this year with full battens and a shelf. Had
that, and a new furling 140 genoa  made by Mack Sails of Florida, and the
result is a lot more speed, especially in the light summer airs on the
Chesapeake. It also seems to produce more drive with less heel when the
wind
gets up. The full battens make it somewhat easier to keep the main under
control when it's down, although the lazy jacks still need work.
