Flaking the mainsail
Posted 2021, Mar 14 23:42
When flaking the mainsail, I was taught to align the battens on top of the boom. I suppose that makes it neater and it's easier to put the cover over the sail and boom, but in the video, the sailor did not put the battens on top of the boom. I wonder if there's a reason for that?
