Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0076878A2] A device for reefing and storing a sail comprises a hollow mast (1), and a rotatable wind-up member (27) inside the mast to which the sail (8) may be attached. Tracks (6, 6 min ) and a top pulley (15a) are provided on the wind-up member for raising the sail up the wind-up member. The sail is reefed by rotating the wind-up member to wind the sail around it and draw the sail into the mast through a slot (5) in the mast. The wind-up member is usually rotatably mounted on a tensioned central wire (20) or rod.
