Harbourfurling is essential for me. One of the reasons I will not have a battened mainsail because that cannot be harbourfurled.
In theory: 1. disconnect the mainsheet from the boom. 2. being a righthander, stand in the centre of the cockpit and grip the clew side of the boom, aft of the sail clew with your right hand, and the left hand holds the boom as far forward as you can reach. 3. pull the boom aft to disconnect the boom from the gooseneck pin. 4. tilt the mast side of the boom up to bring the entire boom paralell to the sail leech, and start to roll the boom forward into the sail until the roll with the boom at its core is parallel to the mast. 5 . Tie to mast at chest height, and secure the upper portion to the mast with spare (spinnaker) haliard. 6. To tidy and secure all before leaving the boat, release the sail tack from the mast, lower the topmast to jackknife the mainsail roll into the cockpit.
In practice, the standard BR 20 does not harbourfurl well.: On some boats the gooseneck is on the starboard side of the mast, which prohibits righthanders from having the strongest grip and lever on the boom. Then, because of the mainsail being so long in the foot, the boom is very heavy and long which makes it hard to tilt up even without the wind additionally tearing at it. So in just a bit of wind it already takes herculean stature and force to harbourfurl the boat, and even if successful without the sailor having been blown out of the boat the harbourfurled mainsail then cannot even be secured enough so stays in danger of being blown open again at the topmast end, and finally the long roll cannot be jackknifed as uptilted boom and topmast have some overlap.
I advocate the smaller mainsail also because with that also the harbourfurling works like it should and the furled sail can be secured, even in a lot of wind, and finally the rolled sail can also be jackknifed and then fits easily into the cockpit length without any overhang.
