How It Works: To furl the jib, pull the furling
line and the sail rolls up around its own luff.
To un-furl, uncleat the furling line and pull the
jib sheet.
Sail with Luff Wire Required: Your sail must
have a 1 x 19 counterlaid stainless steel wire
sewn into the luff with thimbles that are sewn
firmly to the tack and head so they will not
turn. Many small boat sails already have this.
If your sail has a luff rope and hanks, they
must be replaced by a qualified sailmaker.
The system consists of the furling drum and the upper swivel.
Drum: Attach the drum to the stem fitting behind the forestay. On
many boats the forestay is removed and the jib luff wire replaces it.
In this case, the jib remains on the boat in its furled position when
the boat is not in use and a cover protects the sail from UV exposure.
Furling Line: Use
length, add 15' (4.5 m) to the distance from the furler to the cleat.
Feed the line through the little hole in the top of the drum from the
bottom side and tie a tight overhand or figure "8" knot in the end.
Spin the drum and wind up about 14
