I use the same rigging technique with my KARace sails. You just have to get the downhaul right. Too much or too little, you can't get the cams on the mast.
To get the cams off the mast, you just do the same in reverse.
I've only damaged battens when I let off the downhaul the whole way before removing the cams of the mast
agree, some of the old NP vids, the pro's would just say to let the downhaul off and the cams pop off, but I found out the hard way the batten tips would break. Better to pop off the same way in reverse as rigging. I would rig the old way with the boom on personally as it reduces the amount of batten bend, in that vid his battens are very bent IMO, so reducing the overall life.
