P18 #377, "Kestrel",NJ) kind of depends on whether I am motoring or am "heaved to". If heaving to, drop the main first - since it shouldn't be doing any work, anyway. Last weekend, while motoring, I furled the jib and then flaked the main as the other folks who have responded, here. In either case, get the engine running first.
