If stormy weather is predicted or you will be away for an extended
period, wrap the spare halyard around the sail in addition to the
suggestions already mentioned. Make 4-6 wraps from top to bottom and
secure the halyard end to the deck.

also double up the mooring lines.

My old Harken furler has two holes so you can put a pin through the
drum and case to lock it. I do that, plus several wraps around the
sail with the sheets and also secure the furling line with a proper
cleat hitch around a cleat. That sucker is not unfurling without me
doing it.

All this talk has my thinking I should double up on my furler lines. I
tie a quick loop knot around the final blocks mounted at the cockpit
so I can just pull the loop to release them. The line is also flaked
and hung from the stern rain, but that's probably not going to save me
should the knot come free. I also do two wraps of the sheets around
the furler. I think I'll add a more secure knot at the final block to
be safe.
