My experience is that the customs and other fees coming into BVI about offset what you saved avoiding the ferry from STT to BVI. It's a wash.
With regard to the furling main....
Once you get the hang of it - what angle you need to the wind and a little tension on the outhaul - it works great. The CYOA guys will take you on a check out cruise in the harbor and will show you how it's done and let you practice it until you get comfortable. It seems a little fiddly at first - definitely a little bit of a learning curve.
I believe all three of CYOA's new mono hulls - which includes mine - all have traditional mains. Probably to avoid some of the fiddly factor?
Yes a little tension and patience goes a long way on the roller furling mains. Put it away nice and it will play nice. It is easier with two people on lines and one on the helm but can be done done with two people.
As for the new mono hulls they all have traditional mains. They are easier to maintain and they sail better.
