Roller Furling Jib/Genoa-

This sail remains hoisted

so

the jib halyard should not be

removed from the cleat.

Uproar’s

jib halyard is a

red/white line secured on the

cam cleat and coiled on the

port side of the mast.

If you accidentally release the

jib halyard,

make sure

to re-

tension before furling or

unfurling the sail. It can get

jammed up top if there is

slack in the halyard while

furling.
