Thank you at the 5:20 mark. I bought a boat that came with a furling spinnaker (selden ). I didn’t know how to rig it, or use it. I set it up, and watched the furling mechanism at the tack spin, while the sail was not winding there at the tack. I thought, what the heck am I doing wrong and I gave up and put it away for the day. Chuckle. Wow. Now I understand
М- да.. Нет,ну то,что яхта способна ходить под подобного рода креном,это конечно прекрасно. Вопрос в другом,- с какой именно целью было сделано само данное видео?
Bra instruktion. Hur spänner du fast linan som du rullar in seglet med på slutet? Är det bara en elastisk tamp som håller i block där den dubbla linan går?
@Peter Lundh thanks for the video! I believe I have the exact same masthead on my 44' Dromor Athena and am thinking about getting a gennaker furler. Your setup seems to work well without the genoa installed, but I am worried the furled gennoa will clash with the furled gennaker. Does your system work with the genoa furled?
Thank you. That was really useful seeing the sail furled away with the wind blowing. Do you have any advice as to how to lower the code zero when the wind really picks up to say 30 knots or do you just leave it up and cross your fingers?
Lovely sailing. How well do the vertical battens in the jib help keeping shape when reefed like 30 - 40%? I'm curious as a normal furling jib starts to perform quite poor already when reefed 25%. All the best Per
Looks nice at the pier. Furling and unfurling such a sail at sea would be rather tricky as someone said before. The best way to hoist a gennaker is a bowsprit. Removable bowsprits are easy to install and less expensive than furlers.
I have this kind of furling on my geneoa and I frkn hate it. Always gets twirled in the forestay under a windy condition. Any load on the sail makes furling impossible. Snuffer makes way more sense on a sail like this. Imo
+Bill C I had the same problems with the furler , after one season I opted for the sock solution . True it is not as simple and handy as a furler , but it puts far less stress on the canvas .
We just bought a top down furler and this video was invaluable, thank you! Can you possibly tell us what brand of double stanchion block was shown, as I've not seen anything like that in Australia and would like to import for our boat? Smooth seas Dave
Thank You so much for this video! I bought a new furler and there are NO application instructions in the box or on their web site. You took all the guessing out of the set up. Thank You Jim
