Furling Line Guide

Leading the furling line from the drum back to the cockpit.

Where the furling line leaves the drum, and how it is led aft, decides how the whole system feels from the cockpit. Get it right and the sail rolls away with two fingers; get it wrong and you will be convinced something is binding when nothing is.

This page has not been ported yet — the source HTML for /installation/furling-line-guide/ was not in the page download, so there was nothing to bring across. Re-run download-pages.ps1 for that one URL, or paste the copy in here and it will pick up the same styling as the rest of the installation section.

In the meantime

The installation guide covers fitting the system, and forestay tension covers the single biggest cause of a furler that feels stiff. If your line lead is giving you trouble, call 904-600-4105 — it is a two-minute conversation.
