Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Cam lock on main halyard?
Hi Peter,
I have vertical battens in the main and mizzen. As long as the boom is at 90d, furling hasn’t been a problem. Sail shape is significantly better than without them. I don’t know how

Re: Finally a real forum member
Thanks to all the people for the advice and congrats. It seems the Micron 77-stuff is the way forward.

Regarding Micron 77, in many (most?) parts of Europe it is no longer available having been replaced by Micron 350. We had Micron 350 applied (Micron 77 no longer available) in April, 2018 at Manoel

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Cam lock on main halyard?
Hello Peter,
If you take the battens out of the sail you have and try to use it, it will be worse.
The standard main and mizzen sails on SMs have hollow leeches ie the line of the leech from the end
