Thanks to everyone who responded. Given several factors including: the experience of most who responded, the way the track is positioned on the furling tube, and my memory of easier furling on a port tack, I'll be winding the sail counter-clockwise as viewed from the bottom of the mast, or wrapping to the left/port as viewed from behind the mast.

Thanks again,
