Roller Furling Jib

The common roller furling jib involves a long roller system on the forestay. A drum and sheets (lines) leading astern are used to reef or fill the jib. Pulling on one line causes the jib to wrap around the forestay and reduce sail area. Pulling the other line unrolls the job from the forestay, increasing sail area.
