THANKS everyone that answered so far!
This was inspired by the kids going sailing when the furling sail was
getting worked on. After the third time we folded up the big 170 they
asked "How the hell would you do this by yourself?" LOL. Done it many a
time, but it is a pain.
The actual prototype will be tested on 420 sails.

Yup, the Rule 55 does curtail the use of sail stops going into a
water. However, some of the venues (OAs) add to the Sailing Inst the
following phrase "RRS 55 - A competitor shall not intentionally put
trash in the water. This rule applies at all times while afloat. The
penalty for a breach of this rule may be less than disqualification.
However, discarding elastic or wool bands when setting a sail is
permitted."

Don,
Isn't the use of rubber bands on spinnakers, or yarn, or anything
that goes overboard intentionally during a race, banned by Rule 55 of RRS?
That's what I have read and been told.

Like Morgan I race my boat, so we fold the genoas after each race, a
least once per week, maybe two genoas per race. The mainsail is furled
on the boom and covered. The spinnakers are rubber banded and then care
fully stuffed into a spinnaker turtle.
