Does anyone know the name of the small grommet looking thing that the bungy loops onto at the foot of a sail to hold it in a rolled up position? Duplicated on both sides of the sail foot.
And...does anyone know if they can be purchased as a seperate items? I ripped mine out of my Severne sail somehow!!

Cheers.

Similar looking mushroom thingy is found on some eskies to hold bungy cord for lid. Maybe BCF or Boating Chandlery?

Actually, I like olskools suggestion of a mushroom. Mushrooms take all your worries away....

Here's an idea: don't even bother about it, roll it up and stick it in the bag. we used to do it that way for about 25 years!
Didn't really affect the performance on the water!
