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. ...

A sister "ship" (boat) of ours was lost when the upper section of jib
unfurled and caused them to drag anchor. I take the jib off when I'm
not going to go sailing for a couple of days. It lasts a lot longer
and would have to crawl back on deck and get itself out of its bag to
do any harm. I don't understand why folks leave the jibs bent on when
they are away from the boat or expecting heavy weather.
