I used to have one on another boat. It had a line that tightened it up
around the furled foresail from top to bottom. No flogging whatsoever.
If I was ordering a new headsail I would order another cover with it.

There is one on my pier on a J105. I have never seen or heard it flog
even when howling. Some other boats roller furlers and in mast furlers
at the club...well many of those flogged (but that was operator error)

Headsail Socks:
I own a sock for the headsails. Bought it used for $100 from a
local sailmaker. You can raise it and protect any headsail from
UVs. If it's windy, you can wrap your spin halyards around it
loosely to stop the floppy parts from making flag noises.
The ATN brand sock has a pullstring system that might work
better. I saw a North product that had a similar X drawstring
design.
With a helper, I could drop the headsail, flake it on deck, and
bag it and store it below, but the sail takes up a lot of room
inside. And the reason I added the furler was to keep the sail
out of the cabin. I eventually gave in and paid $800 and had the
UV protection added to my 144% genoa and that's what I use to race
and daysail, shorthanded.

Have you been in a marina with one of the sleeves on the boat next
door in 20 knows of wind? I have. Think flag.

Just to make it a little more interesting..
With my (new to me) racing headsails This what I'm going with:
<http://www.atninc.com/atn-genoa-sleeve-sailing-equipment.shtml>http://www.atninc.com/atn-genoa-sleeve-sailing-equipment.shtml
With the Genoa Sleeve way you have complete protection from sun /
rain / pollen / whatever for no matter what sail happens to to be
on the furler. ATN's sleeve is a bit pricey but it seems to be the
way to go.
Added weight to the sail(s) = 0
it's a little more hassle to hoist but this way I feel the sails
are better protected and I don't have to do anything to the sails.

John ? that was my thinking, too; and the sail is only on the
fuller for about five months a year up here.

a new suit of sails for Imzadi. He was also very down on using a
Dacron sun cover for the headsail. His opinion was that they are
typically good for 5-6 years or less, and better suited to use on
sails used for club racing and not left for long term on the
furler. He said Sunberlla is heavier, stiffer, and more expensive
(which increases initial cost of the sail and slightly decreases
performance), but very much more durable (and a better value in
the long run if you are a cruiser).
