Thanks, Boatsmith, for your sound advice. Although I'm not into racing, I want my sails to last as long as possible. In fact, last time I was stowing my mainsail in a similar way you described.
Unfortunately the sails take up too much berth space. So, as soon as I get my sailcovers, they will have to stay on deck.
Ok, so the luff pocket will wrinkle your main. But OTOH there is no boom. What about folding the main sail (don't lower it) against the mast and then pull up a "sock" with the spinnaker halyard engulfing both the mast and the main sail so as to hold the sail tight to the mast and protect it. In the few cases when you want to reduce windage you can always lower the sail as usual. Might work.
