So, what is the best way for you to secure your furling jib in order to prevent folding, wrinkling, premature wear, or wind damage while trailering? Strapped to mast? Coiled on tramp? (I have bungeed it snug in 5-6 places on the mast (loosely hanging it though while in storage under cover.) Thanks much! |

Do you have a snorkel cover? |

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. |

Thanks for the comments... Yes, I have the snorkel, but I'm just looking for ways to keep it and the furled jib from flapping (or ripping) and keep the sail from being folded (but staying in a nice roll shape as it is when it is reefed).so as not to get any wrinkle/crease marks in it...? |
