[Public-List] Reefing/furling

[Michael]

There is an argument that flaking, folding and rolling a sail after 
every use is more harmful to it than just stuffing in the sailbag, the 
same crease more or less being constantly used.
I compromise, stuffing during the season, and folding for winter 
storage.
Also, I seem to recall the max dimension #1 Genoa for the Alberg works 
out to 163%. I had a #2 made with full luff and raised clew that worked 
out to 150%. It has become my go to cruising sail (I have a working jib 
for when things get really funky). The decksweeping feature of the #1 
must be a significant addition to total sail area-I have not calculated.
