SAIL STORAGE/FOLDING
Avoid storing a wet sail to prevent the appearance of mould and mildew.
Flake the sail parallel to the foot, then roll it up to the bag dimensions.
PROTECTION
UV rays are harmful to polyester and nylon. If the sails remain on the mast, even for 24 h,
protect them with a cover or a protection fabric placed on the leech and foot of the furled
sails.
