I am new to the IOM and have a question. Does one realy need a rigbox to store pre- bend rigs? Would like to hear from those of you with pre-bend rigs and no rigbox how you manage.
Thanks and regards

Hiya - do the same as Fernando after each sailing.
Like yourself I don't have a sailbox and till now I store the sails flat in a dry area. It is important to rince the sails after each race and let them dry fully before storing them. for now I keep them in a sailbag (heavy plastic) but once I receive my new sailbag I'll be keeping them in it (more padded and more ridgid.
I used to hang them from a nail in the wall but can't do it anymore but it's a nice way to keep the sails wrinkle free.
hope this helps...
