Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0325074A1] The furler/reefer according to the invention comprises a rotating tube (3) parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mast (1), and a device for retaining this tube, which has at least two curved wings (16, 18) connected to each other at one of their ends by a linking element (14) capable of being mounted on the mast (1), these two wings (16, 18) partially surrounding the tube (3) and having, opposite the linking element (14), two respective end edges (20, 21) with axes parallel to the tube (3) and defining an axial zone of passage for the sail. The wings (16, 18) are axially offset in such a way that the end edges (21, 20) are axially spaced apart from each other by a specified distance (d2). <??>The invention enables the tube (3) to be retained without there being any risk of the sail (6) becoming jammed. <IMAGE>
