I just clip the tack/furler to the front tramp near the bow spreader and leave the head attached at the hound. Seems to be OK that way. Granted, I haven't hauled any long distances but I do go on freeway. At first, I didn't even attach at the bow spreader, but it blew backward and was about to fall off the tramp before I noticed. I don't bother with the snorkel since it is PITA and the zipper routinely fails (it really should be made with a YKK zipper instead of the flimsy thing that Hobie uses). I do cover the boat with a 20 by 20 tarp between sails to preclude sun damage.
