[C320-list] removing main w/ Dutchman system

[hcreech at comcast.net]

John, 
Taking the dutchman off is fairly easy, I have been doing it for 11 seasons. In the beginning I made notes, but after awhile a shadow appears on the main that makes it easy to re-thread in the spring. I am sure with the age of your boat you will have shadow lines. I store the hardware in the two pouches so they are easy to find in the spring. Then I lower the outhaul all the way and wrap the two lines around the boom.

Hi All. 

I'll be removing my main soon for winter storage (a first time for me). I have a Dutchman (lazy-jack-type) system and I wonder if any of you with experience has any tips to offer. Is it easier to remove and store a main with the Dutchman system? Or is it easier to screw it up? 

Thanks
