"Edgar" wrote 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. -- Tom. |
