Because one picks up a mooring at the bow and one
has to walk past the mast to the cockpit in order to
roll up the jenny and then one has to walk forward
again to the mast to drop the main. This is lubberly.

Any real sailor does his sail work at the mast.

Why couldn't she just let off the genoa sheets roll it up and then drop
the main?

After making the mooring pendant fast one walks to the mast and cast
off both the main and jib halyards and both sails fall right down.

Poor Katy would have to drop the main with the jenny slapping her
across the head and shoulders and then go back to the cockpit to
roll up the stupid wind up sail. Sooooo lubberly, don't cha know?

have hank-on sails for this procedure to work right so
