Funny...when sailing to the mooring I do the opposite. Furl Jib in outer harbor and with plenty of run-room drop and flake the main. Unroll jib and sail to mooring. I can "decelerate" and "accelerate" thru the mooring field by furling and unfurling jib as control requires. When approaching mooring just put it away and there is none of the main boom banging around or somehow catching breeze if the boat falls off when dead on the water. When docking under sail works like a charm too.

I sail singlehanded 90% of the time. When sailing on to my mooring, I furl the jib well in advance, approach the mooring in irons, drop the main and grab the mooring lines. The main is then flaked properly. _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
