How to furl
1. Release the windward sheet and ensure that it can run freely. Holding the boat close hauled will
ensure the best wind angle for furling.
2. Release the leeward sheet but keep a little tension on it by keeping one turn around the winch.
3. Furl the sail by pushing the control button. Let it furl while keeping light resistance in the sheet.
5.4 Reducing sail area
The best point of sail for reducing sail is close hauled. The wind will then partly fill the sail and help to
improve its shape whilst being reduced.
How to reef
1. Slacken off the leeward sheet until the sail just begins to flap along the luff.
2. Push the control button so that the sail begins to furl. Gradually slacken the sheet when furling.
When the sail area is reduced, it may be necessary to adjust the sheeting position.
Never use Furlex Electric for sheeting.
