Are you asking what we think would be best, or what we actually do?
The Colie version sells for $229, including $90 for shipping (the bag alone sells for $119).
bag sells for $139, and $90 worth of shipping if you decide to get it with a tube, which from my view is a ridiculous thing to do, as you can just go and get a tube yourself, which is much cheaper.I still beleive it's the best sail bag available.
I'm not quick and definitely not quick today as I cannot yet see the combination I've missed. Please let me know so I can get some sleep tonight.

Buy it folded and keep it stuffed up in a crumpled heap in the cockpit?

Seems very expensive for a sail bag. Mine is a tube with an opening at one end, no full length zips and its dead easy to get the sail (on a pipe) in and out. To purchase from PSE (UK) is US$35 (I converted £ to $).

DOn't forget to chuck a few house bricks on it to stop high winds blowing it away!Buy it folded and keep it stuffed up in a crumpled heap in the cockpit?
I keep my sail rolled in a simple bag that costs about $30 from APS.

History repeats itself.....
Generally I lay the mast down the centreline of the boat, put the sail upside down on top of it (battens in), feed the open end of the luff pocket onto the top of the mast and pull it on. Once it gets to half way I lift the mast off the boat and pull at the same time. Bit of forearm strength required but there you go. Taking it off is similar but easier.Hello:
Also how do you effectively get it on and off the mast without worrying about the ground surface scuffing it up etc?
Thanks Chainsaw. I imagine that you arepulling the sheet over the mast in a way that it is unfolding over it's length as you pull it on. Is that right? Mineis still quite stiff making this a bit more difficult as it likes to hard crease as I pull it over itself. Am I understaning you correctly?
Yeah that's the idea. I suppose you could equally lay the sail out along the length of the boat and insert the mast instead.Thanks Chainsaw.
