llllll Hood are the only sailmakers in the world to weavetheir own fabric The mainsail is your most important
sail, used every timeyou leave the mooring; it needs to be easily handled andreduced efficiently in area as the wind increases. Hood’sEasi-Stow dispenses with the need for that extra pair ofhands!When reefing, the full length battens will steady the sailwhile you handle the lines in the normal way.And, when you’ve finished sailing for the day, just lowerthe halyard and let the Lazy-Jacks take the strain; thebattens keep the
sail between the Lazy-Jack lines, whichrun from mast to boom, without assistance. The sailflakes itself, batten by batten, neatly and quietly on top ofthe boom. The
sail stays on board and off the deck,making your family sailing and cruising much moreenjoyable.The Easi-Stow is a fully battened mainsail which retains aconstant aerofoil profile over a wider wind range, held inshape by pultruded GRP rod battens.

sail.Your Easi-Stow Mainsail comes complete with Lazy-Jacks, self-aligning blocks, battens, etc. The onlyinstallation requirement, other than bending on yourmainsail, is the fitting of two pad eyes to the mast.
