Reply to: Rolling up a boomless main

[quote=klozhald][quote=MN3]if you roll top down - you get the benefit Hullfier mentioned - wet pannels have a better chance of drying off and this is a pretty simple way to single hand the sail bottom up allows you to hoist next time without unrolling the entire sail and a bit easier for hoisting if you really care about preserving your sail - you should reduce the batten tension each time you store it (esp if wet and esp if long term) If you really care about your sails - you would rinse them off every now and again and every time they get salt water on them when i roll up my sails : I release my battens i roll top down i put my top (angled) batten in the second slot down i fold over the top of the sail between batten 2 and 3 i start to roll up the sail and continue to move my body down the sail as it gets wider (so i am in the center of the sail at all times) i don't worry at all about the luff/bolt rope - it naturally coils outward as i roll (the head of the sail is still in the center of the roll but the luff/bolt rope is not all in 1 bundle) put in bag - put in sailbox -done till i am home[/quote] Well stated, and I absolutely agree with this. My sails are 32 years old, still crispy, and I continue to race with them.[/quote]
