Hello - I'm going to purchase a pre-feeder for my mainsail. Has anyone had a better experience with one brand/model over another?

Thanks!

Drew,
Sorry. This is kind of a late response. I hope you have saved your money. Pre-feeders on a J/24 main are sort of like putting pearls on a pig. Doesn't really help the problem. Put a pair of hands on feeding the main into the mast slot and one on the halyard and you'll be fine. With a pre-feeder, you would still need someone to tend the main luff. Save your money for the beer.
