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.

I still use the old style hank on sails..yes they can be a mess..but
very simple and has worked for a long time.
