How does roller furling work?
Roller furling is a sail management system that allows sailors to roll up or unfurl sails from a drum mounted at the forestay. When the sail is furled, it wraps around the drum, reducing sail area for better control in varying wind conditions. To unfurl the sail, the sailor simply pulls on a line that releases the sail from the drum, allowing it to unfurl and catch the wind. This system enhances ease of handling, especially for short-handed sailing.
