"To reach the port of heaven, we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it -- but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor."
Oliver Wendell Holmes

Quick storage of Main Sail - Dennis Roberts

Something I used to do on the Prelude was to lower the mainsail onto the boom and secure it in the usual way with sail ties and then lift the boom of complete with the sail and store it in the cabin

Saves a lot of time and no fiddling about with sail covers.
