I took off the head sail for the winter and had a quesion on sail storage.

What is the view on putting sail into the sail bag.

1) Stuff it in the bag?
2) Fold sail then place in bag?
3) Roll sail and place in bag?

Just wondering how other people treat their sails?

I fold and roll mine. I fold it to the size of the bag length wise, then roll it to fit in the bag.

After removing the battens, I usually fold mine longwise just enough so the width will fit in the sail bag then roll it up loosely and put it in the bag.
Sailcare has some info on folding for shipment at
http://www.sailcare.com/ look under how to fold sails.

My new main and headsails came from North folded, then rolled loosley. I have stored them that way. Hey, why argue with a sailmaker?

Thanks for the replies - I will go with the fold to fit and roll before stuffing into the sail bag.

Thanks again.
