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.
