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.


Hmmm. Must be particularly agile birds in Texas to be able to sit on a
steeply-angled forestay and crap on the sun cover. I've *never* had bird
crap on my headsail. Now the crap on my mainsail cover is another matter.

Hell, I don't even close the ports or the companionway. I just love mildew
