Seems about right. And I too will unload the sail before furling or reefing so there isn't the full force of the sail working against the furler. Calculations of the load of the sail transferred to the furling line would be difficult given sail size, wind speed, wind angle, friction in

I use one of these that I keep on my furling line. The difference is astounding. Don't let anyone tell you that it will damage the line either. I've had this for years without any issue whatsoever. It gives you the strength of a gorilla, while retaining the ability to feel what is going on.

Chuck, I cannot pull the furling line when it is loaded. I know that people try doing that with a winch, but from what I know it is not what furler manufacturers recommend. I furl only when the genoa is slacked (usually a bit down wind, during a tack, or when sheets slacked if little wind).

Marek, The tensile strength of 5/16” XLE polyester double braid is roughly 3600 lbs. Even if one were to assume a 5:1 ratio to develop a “safe working Load” you’d still be looking at 720lbs. I can’t imagine that there would be that much pressure against the drum..you certainly wouldn’t be

Anyone calculated what should be the working load strength for the furling line? It does not count, if you don’t ever use it for reefing, but what if you do? One could probably run some calculations (e.g. based on the working load on the sheet and the ratio of the diameter of the furling drum
