[quote=foursail]I have used a shock cord to keep some tension on the clew with some success. I prefer to keep my pentex jib furled in a large sail bag as it's gotten older and I am less worried about folds. It seems sun and chafe have done more damage than folds at seven years old. (There are lot of creases from folds, but don't seem to be causing problems like in mylar) I do keep a snorkel on it when not sailing taking a break now because more worried about sun damage than folds , but on windy days the snorkel can cause more damage with chafe than the sun does and I leave it off. Most furling jibs I've seen have been destroyed by the sun, but have seen new jibs destroyed in a afternoon flapping in a strong wind and are right to be cautious about it.[/quote]
