Drying

Roelofstorm
It is hard (time consuming) to dry sails on a smooth surface. We here in Michigan have even a harder time because when there is sun (which is not that often) we like to sail. The only advantage here is that we have no salt water.
As for drying I feel drying the sail put up on the mast with minimal wind while slipped/mored is still the best way, better than on the ground. Unless you have a 20 feet or so mast and you can hang your sails in a garage, not all of use have the "clean" area real eastate to lay-out our sails.
