Fit the front deck as far as possible from the drum. The
furling line should run at 90° to the foil sections with the
line situated at mid-height round the drum as shown.

IMPORTANT: First half hitch the furling line (fig. Y)
around the body of the drum. Then, feed the line
through the hole in the top plate and tie a figure eight
knot as shown.
WHEN THE SAIL IS FURLED UP, THERE SHOULD BE
ALWAYS A FEW TURNS REMAINING AROUND THE

can rotate.
