[quote=wlrottge]Regardless of pintop or square head, I've rolled them all the same; the difference was in which batten you rolled from.
I haven't owned a pinhead mainsail for... ten years? Regardless though, if the sail is going to be put away for more than a day or two, I pull the top batten and roll it from the top. I've seen enough mylar sails fail where the fold was to know that it can't be a coincidence. I had an 18-2 sail years ago that looked great.... except for the massive delamination and cracking right where it was folded. Mylar shrinks and becomes more brittle with age, so why give it more opportunity/reason to fail?
An A-cat sail can't be rolled from the middle and sails like my N20FCS sails are heavy enough that they make the fold worse. It isn't any harder or slower to roll the sail from the top; the only penalty you pay is when you have to fully unroll it the next time you use it.[/quote]
