I note that the most recent GOB recommended simply
putting
an extra line
around the jib (near where the sheets attach, now
spiral
fashion) to protect
from unfurling and flogging.

At first I was wondering how they got a line to the top.
I
suppose I could spiral my extra jib halyard around and
tie
it off. Sounds like a good idea.

Sorry Scotty, typo. Should have said "not spiral fashion."

Oh, right, that's what I do now. Wouldn't wrapping the
spare halyard around work, too.
