bviboater said: Raise the Main sail while still at anchor/mooring before leaving. Much easier (a one person job) than when bouncing around out in the channel. I usually put a single reef in, which can easily be shaken out. Also its nice to have a sail up just in case the engine conks out, in the right conditions you don't even need the engine (but have it running anyway). Was Wondering about this and the etiquette involved. We did this when we were moored at Goerge dog but there were only two other boats and the wind was just right to fall off the mooring ball and catch the wind. Not sure how comfortable I would feel doing this in a crowded mooring field but it does make raising the sail so much easier to avoid the lazy jacks. thx
