I thought this deserved another thread, even though the "headsail furler" is
surprisingly civil so far.

We all know (I hope) about giving the furled sail a couple of extra wraps
with the jib sheets, but do you go further? I seem to recall someone (more
than one) tying off the sail with an extra line, but I wondered at the time
how one gets up high enough to make that effective.

I use a shackle on the drum of my Schaefer. Anyone else?
