Yes, you are correct and I like your "burrito" visualization. It is a
technique I read about years ago for single/short handed sailors to quickly
and temporarily secure the main sail prior to neatly flaking at a later
time.

Hi Dennis,
I read your suggestion about "pocketing the main". 30 to 40% from the
gooseneck positions me on the cabintop. And we are not flaking, but making a
burrito that we stuff and roll up onto the boom and tie with a single sail tie?
Is that right?

I would second support for the Dutchman system, it worked very well on my boat,
apart from maybe the finicky mainsail cover (the same as lazy jacks if you
don't move them before you cover the sail).
We have just changed over to lazy jacks and a stack pack sail cover because it
wouldn't have
Hi all,
I've been reading this subject for a few days now, and it's interesting that it
doesn't look like anybody has mentioned the Dutchman Flaking System. I really
like mine and it works very well for flaking my sail when single-handing.
They have a website you can Google and learn more
