Furling Line Tip

Here's a tip regarding the headsail furling line that was shared with a few of us this evening (apparently Barbara G. figured this out)... If pulling on the line from the companionway or cockpit is too difficult, try pulling on the section between fairleads along the side of the cabin interior. This will give you some extra purchase on the line, and when you release it you can quickly take up the slack near the cleat with your other hand. Do this several times over and your headsail should be neatly furled.
