Sails and Rigging Rhapsody is ideally set up for short-handed sailing. With its "Leisure-Furl" in boom mainsail and with an electric winch for both halyard and furling, it is a breeze! This New Zealand built mainsail-furling system is the system of choice for larger yachts. It allows for a mainsail (with full battens and a full roach with infinite reefing) which gives a substantial increase in performance over an in-the-mast furling system.
