is basically learning on your particular boat with your exact same sail what is the best way to do it. The sail cannot be blown completely, neither you want to be close reaching at the time of rolling it up. He is very happy with the system and he did mentioned that you need to learn the "hand and the time" in order to have the best furl. The owner, is a good friend and he had a A sail made, kind of a true runner (as runner as you can got with an asymmetrical) and the boat sails very deep. Sorry for all the links, but these are all Flickr pics. Can go both higher and lower than the screecher it replaced. The angles it can sail are truly impressive in light air (<10 knots). Think of a Code-0 / screecher shaped sail, but cut from lighter weight spinnaker-type cloth. I don't have any close ups, there are couple of them ready to round the leeeward mark. It’s on a continuous line top down Selden furler with a torque rope inside a sleeve in the luff. The boat is based here in Lake Ray Hubbard (Rush Creek YC) which used to be Olson 30 territory, but there are only two Olsons still active: this 29 and one 30. I stand corrected, not a 30 but an Olson 29. Give us a call or email and we can go over the specifics of your sailboat. This video will show you how the system works in good detail, pay attention on 1:02 to see the tack adjustment: Here are some of the options you can go with: The TAN sock is an affordable solution that will get the job done, but requires probably more people, time and energy than the furler. Also you can go all the way up on the halyard when using the top down furler.Īlso, Selden just came up with that adjustable Tack Swivel (ATS) which is allows you do adjust the height of the tack by playing the tackline and not affecting the tension on the anti-torsion rope. We reckon that a top down furler is much more efficient and safer than the sleeve because you do not have to go to the front of the boat to douse or hoist and the set up overall is cleaner. I have use it also in a couple of Beneteau's 35 to 38. The owner sails shorthanded and likes to race the boat, so it became quite handy. The last unit I personally used was on a modified Olson 30 that we retrofitted with a Selden bowsprit and a Selden Top Down Furler.
