[quote=randii][quote=911hobie]I use a 2" pvc pipe a little shorter then the length of the foot and attach clew and tack to the ends with bungee chords and hooks and roll it up when I take it down. Then, when raising it rolls out staying stable.[/quote]
A PVC core to wrap around was Plan A -- I've used PVC and heavy zip ties for a season; it really helps quickly roll with minimal creases. While I was hoisting, the front zip tie broke and then I was dealing with a rather energetic and unhappy chunk of PVC. :( Plan A works well in low or moderate breeze, but has me searching for Plan B in heavy breeze.
Catsalor, the sock you describe, is that essentially a snorkel? I've considered that... i
Maybe if I furl the Pentex jib looser it will be flexible enough to wind into meter-diameter loops. When furled tightly, it is very stiff!
