Well I knew sailing could be expensive. After finishing a local race in wind gusts up to 33 knots I managed to severely tear my 22 yr old mainsail in our 1986 E32-3. If it is not repairable I am considering installing a CDI Mainsail Reefing System. Anyone have any experience with this or the CDI head sail furlers? Being able to raise, reef and douse all sails from the cockpit has a very high appeal for me and my wife (who just knows I am going overboard soon). And we are getting older. All opinions encouraged. Thanks.
