This is a first draft of a furling system where the angled furler rotates and grows in diameter. A cylinder represents the combination of furling hardware (‘Min_R (inches)’ = 0.75) plus the sail thickness as it wraps, determined by ‘Max_R (inches)’ = 2 and ‘Max_Turns’ = 40. All of these values are wild guesses. The ‘Furled (feet)’ panel shows the length of a string (or LP dimension of a jib) wrapped around the growing cylinder.
