Un hanking
flaking, folding and bagging a jib and putting it in a
dry
sail locker
only takes a few minutes.

Rolling up my genny takes about 10 seconds.


Yeah, but it's left in the weather and birds crap on it.


It's protected by a Sunbrella cover. I've never had any
birds crap n my boat (yet).

There's a crab crusher in our marina that has a club-footed staysail. The
staysail resides in a boom bag near the tack when not in use. The owner
told me once that if he doesn't use his staysail regularly, tiny birds build
nests in the damn bag. When he raises that sail after a hiatus, nest
material and eggs go flying everywhere.
