So it's nearly time to launch our V222. Though we still don't have a name (we have a short list, don't worry we have about 6 weeks to go), or found her hull # (though through some comments here we've determined she is early in the production run (she has ply bunks so possibly a 68 before numbers where required... that's a conversation for another post. What I'm curious about today is the furler. It's doesn't appear to have any means of winding. That to say, there is no spring or mechanism to cause the sail to roll-up. Is this normal? How does it work without a spring? I always assumed these functioned like a blind. You know, give it a little tug and it rolls up. I would appreciate any advise. Starting the rigging now. That's my favorite part... you can almost hear the waves when you get to this point in a restore.
Fair winds fellow sail geeks!
