11- FURLING TIPS

When unfurling, guide the reefing line so that it does not run out too fast. Keep the
reefing line under control as you furl. Take care it does not override.
When you reef, check the Genoa car to ensure the correct tension on the leach and foot.
Check that other halyards are clear of the reefing system.
Cleat the furling line and secure jib sheets when you have the required sail area.
It is recommended that you have a spare sail on board. You can use an old Genoa with a
luff tape to fit the Facnor groove.
Before leaving your boat, make sure that the sail is tightly furled and that the jib sheets
are wrapped around the furled sail two or three times, and the reefing line is secured.
When reefing in light airs, maintain some tension on the jib sheets to ensure the sail is
properly rolled up.
