6 Furling line arrangement

6.1 Functional description

As the sail unfurls, the furling line is wound onto the line drum. It is centred on the line drum through

the hole in the line guide fitting, which has a stainless steel bush to reduce friction and wear on the

line. The furling line is distributed evenly on the line drum by the light pressure exerted on it by the

flexible line guard, which has low friction aluminium edge protectors.

6.2 Winding the line onto the drum

 Turning the luff extrusion by hand, wind approx. 40 turns of the furling line onto the line drum.

If the sail’s ultraviolet (UV) protection is fitted on the starboard side, the furling line shall exit on

the port side of the line drum. Turn the luff extrusion clockwise.

If the UV protection is fitted on the port side, turn the extrusion counter-clockwise. The line will

then exit on the starboard side.

 Secure the line in the tack snap shackle. Accidental unfurling is then prevented.

Fig. 6.2.a

To prevent accidental unfurling the line can be secured as shown in fig. 6.2.a.
