I had reefing grommets put in my Getaway's mainsail, and it's boomless. I roll it up and tie it around the battens in the roll. I have a 6' line that I tie between the main halyard and the top of the sail so I can still lock the halyard into the clips. Cost about $100 for North Sails to install the grommets, and it works very well.
