Why do you think you need to do more?


Because I've seen the mess when a sail has come unrolled at the dock and
also on a mooring. I depend on the wraps normally but put a sail tie on
for heavy weather or when leaving the boat for a long period. I'ts more
of a peace of mind thing than a significant hazard but it keeps me from
seeing those scenes in my mind when I wake up in the middle of the night.

There was a boat in the same row as mine that shredded a jib during a storm
last winter. I don't want to repeat that.
