Good to know Don...as usual, read the SI!..

However, some of the venues (OAs) add to the Sailing Inst the following phrase "RRS 55 - A competitor shall not intentionally put trash in the water. This rule applies at all times while afloat. The penalty for a breach of this rule may be less than disqualification. However, discarding elastic or wool bands when setting a sail is permitted." Don Fireball C&C 35 II .

The mainsail is furled on the boom and covered. The spinnakers are rubber banded and then care fully stuffed into a spinnaker turtle.
