GENOA FURLER

Operation
- Leave several turns of the furling line around the drum.
- Furl/unfurl the genoa slowly so that the furling line is always under light tension, thus avoiding any riding turns in the
drum.
- Never slacken the genoa halyard when furling/unfurling the sail.
- When furling in light winds, it is recommended that you keep the sheet under slight tension so that the genoa furls
correctly.
- Furling and unfurling of the sail are carried out upwind.
