Just my 2cents. I have a Furlex 200 furler on my smaller boat and it has a bungee that is fed into one of the luff slots below where the sail enters the torque tube. The install manual has you secure the bungee (can't remember how) and then pull the bungee as tight as you can. Then while it is b

Dennis, Every headsail on both of my boats is folded like you describe. And I am constantly surprised that I need to teach just about everyone how to stow a headsail. I'm sure most of them think I'm just an old, opinionated, crotchety guy. But I grew up sailing small boats with hanked on sails
