As normal practice, I wind the jib sheets 3-4 times and
cleat the RF line, and then tie a seperate double line
around the sail. For Isabel, I removed all sail.

This is basically what we do out here... it's always sad to see what
happens when a novice with a furler fails to do that, and the sail
comes loose.
