    To Roll or not to roll. That is the question

    Re: To fold or not to fold. That is the question. why foot to head and not head to foot? As I travel with my good sail it gets left folded in the bag but my old sail I use gets rolled around the mast and then I put a keel boat mainsail bag over it before putting it under the cover so the bit...
