| Mainsail Prefeeders for Boltrope | ||
|
Mainsail Feeders allow for smooth feeding of Sails with a Boltrope Luff, preventing chafe
as the Sail enters the Mast Groove.
Mainsail Prefeeders allow for more rapid feeding of Sails, helping align the Sail with its
entry into the Mast.
Depending on Mast configuration some Masts use only a Prefeeder, but even with a Feeder,
the addition of a Prefeeder (sometimes 2) will always speed up a sail hoist. |
