On charter yachts, as well as on yachts whose owners prioritize safety, comfort, and convenience, the in-mast furling mainsail with full-length vertical battens parallel to the mast has become increasingly popular. Handling is simple and straightforward, and reefing can be done continuously on all points of sail. The speed advantage compared to conventional in-mast furling mainsails without battens is significant, while the increase in weight aloft is negligible.

- Significantly more drive than conventional in-mast furling mainsails without battens.
- 20% more sail area compared to conventional in-mast furling mainsails without battens.
- 10% more sail area compared to in-mast furling mainsails with short battens
