Fluttering sails

[[70521]]

I have at least three wraps of sheet round my genoa and a bright yellow sail tie through the clew before I leave the boat on a bright sunny day let alone a forecast storm.

Fluttering....hangar roof.

Wind blows roof off of new hangar at RAF Brize Norton

Try reefing that.

70 million quid for a glorified marquee? I wonder what committee of the great and good sanctioned that?

Tying off the furler drum to the pulpit prevents it from rotating and letting the sail out.

Nearly all the genoas I've seen shredding in the wind are due to the sail above the clew somehow unwrapping whilst the sheet still has turns around the sail.
The drums are not rotating.

I agree, but there were some right out here, and some in the middle
