Sounds like you've got plenty of flexibility

That's good to hear.

My boat was lifted out yesterday, with the sails still partially bent on. The genoa's still on. I took the mainsail off the battcars before I left the mooring Sunday for the downwind ride under reefed genoa, so I can remove the remainder of its attachments without raising it. Will wait for a day when the wind is relatively calm.

Fortunately, my yard lets me store the boat unfolded so it's a very stable platform (they charge the same as for a monohull of same length). So while I still have the nets on I have an area to fold the genoa. I drop the main to the parking lot and spread out a large tarp where I remove the battens and fold it.

Picture is a few years old, prior to repainting.
