They want fast, and they want easy. Cruising will likely mean short stints on the nearby coast, if it at all. Mostly, this boat is for a few hours of fun. It won't have a watermaker, but it will have a wet bar.

I saw the new mainsail. Wow! Towering, full battened. Sitting on the stands, fully raised, it had a beautiful shape with the full battens.

Then as I watched, the rigger pushed a button and in no time, the whole thing rolled up into the Leasure boom. I know there's a lot of cristicism of these systems. But I can't believe, watching that, this is the future. I bet one day it will be like roller furling headsails, scoffed at in the beginning, now, universal.

No traveler, massive hydraulic vang, it's dead simple to sail.

They won't get a globe girdler(they don't want it), but they will sail very fast, and do it in little more time than it takes to say it.
