[C320-list] removing main w/ Dutchman system

[Jon Vez]

Hi John,

I used to simply store my main with the Dutchman intact. I just detached the
continuous line from the outhaul and flaked my main with the filament lines
staying on the sail....even when I took my main for cleaning I did this and
the sail loft would re-string it once they cleaned it for me....

Regards,
Jon Vez

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
