Does the added weight spoil mainsail shape in light air? Do you know need a bigger boom kicker?

:: We use this system also, as Ralph says it's easier to
:: use overall. The only thing is that your bowperson will
:: need to pay attention to the pole while it's stored in
:: the boom because it will have a tendency to spin while
:: in there causing the pole gear to get tangled.

:: Your local sailmaker can make one for you.
