Hi!

I'm wondering about how to best or easiest way to fold my sails for storage. When I beach the cat for the day, I furl the jib around the forestay temporarily and let the fully battened mainsail down. The jib has only a few battens in it. I have to unfurl and take off the jib to unstep the mast. I refurl it in the opposite direction as I'm letting it down, but it gets too big for me. So I end up folding the furled jib a few times so it's only 6' long.

The main is much easier. It sort of accordions on itself as it's let down. I just pick it up as it is and store it that way.

So my main concern is with the lazy way I do the jib. Will this damage the sail? Is there an easier, one-man way to do this?

Thanks,
Danno
