In the video you can see a problem with taking down the gennaker. Sailing boat was 45 feet long Salona 45 which is a good mixture of luxury and performance.

Used gennaker for sale! Good condition. Not using anymore. Best offer wins.

A hull sack, taking downwards or upwards is much easier and ofcourse more wind in the back.

You're making it harder, not easier, by not raising the main. It's much easier to take the gennaker down in the wind shadow of the mainsail.

Also, big drop on the halyard --- maybe 15 to 20 feet --- will depower the sail. Then gather it in quickly, then lower the rest of the way

Oh, and did you at least catch some shrimp for dinner?

You could blow the tack, or even the sheet and then just haul in on the tack.

just release the tack line first and you're left with a flag that is easy to collect. whenever possible set main and jib, tack, leaving the asym on the inside and let your jib do the work for you.
