I leave the sail cover on mine, and also the topping lift. Makes it easier to swing it back without help, and bring the forward end into the cabin. Then I pop it off and put the boom the rest of the way into the cabin.

But leaving it on the mast sure would be quicker. Going to have to give it a try this spring. :wink:
