Yup. Memorial Day, can't recall the year. But we got a
lesson about
docklines that night. Also got a lesson about securing
genoa sheets and
tying a keeper line around the rolled genny.


I don't put a line around the rolled jib,



you should.

Anybody with a roll-up jib is too stupid in the first place to do things
right. Nothing screams "stupid, inept wannabe" like a roll-up jib. Get
rid of that roll-up crap, use hank-on headsails and be a real sailor for
once.

The only thing more stupid looking than a roll-up headsail on a sailboat
is a roll-up headsail on a Mac26.
