I, like TJK suggests, usually put a sail tie around the genoa if I'm leaving the boat for a while. I also generally have four wraps of the genny sheets around the furled genny... so it is very, very unlikely that my genny will unwrap in a storm. The genny sheets are cleated off in the cockpit, and the sail tie goes through the clew of the genny and around the sail three or four times as well.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
