As I race a lot of shorthanded, I am very interested in going to the Tides track. We have it on the Olson 40 and it is heaven. It does not scallop the main at all (although it is a kevlar main).
If anyone wants entertainment they can watch me try and flake my boltrope main on the boom by myself after a delivery or singlehanded race.
I will have to measure my non-class legal main to see if the addition of slides will push me past the max outhaul. I suspect it will requiring sail modification
