My new Doyle main has a bolt rope in the boom, but it also has a guide
slug at the tack. The sail is NOT loose footed.

Richard,
Bullshit! To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a single performance
oriented sailboat racing class that prefers to use loose footed
mainsails. I don't know why Doyle has made this marketing decision.
Fortunately, there are plenty of other choices of sailmakers & I would
run, not walk, away from this idiot at Doyle.

The mainsail on my boat is pretty much shot also. My boat is a re-mfg
1990 and I insisted on the old style spars (non IMF) and the sail I have
is all that Stan had. I got in touch with Doyle regarding a new main the
sail they suggust has 2 full length battens at the head and 2 partial
battens towards the foot.
The sail they quoted was also loose footed! When I expressed surprise I
was told that (Doyle) was no longer building mains with bolt ropes along
the foot. There contention is that a loose footed sail set's better and
last longer.
