Storing sails
Very firm finished racing fabric should be rolled wherever possible, as folding will lead to creases which will not come out.
Laminated sails of Kevlar or Mylar can be left stowed in their sausage bags. Cruising sails should always be folded, or at least
stowed on the boom (in which case they must always be covered).

Do you even know what a sausage bag is? Yes, it is a long, thin bag
suitable for storing a rolled up sail. I think I have proven by these
links I have posted here how ignorant even you racers are about
sails.

S.Simon - knows much more than you might wish to think he does.

How the hell does a cruising sailor store a Mylar sail
on the boom without causing damage?

Not true. Hell, I know people who flake Kevlar mains on the boom.
