Re: Roller Reefing main.

Any chance of explaining to me / us basically how this roller reefing main system works? I assume that the boom rotates and rolls the sail around the boom. I'm just having difficulty visualising how you get enough mechanical advantage to get that sail wrapped around the boom and how the gooseneck is constructed for mainsail roller reefing. It obviously works as there are photos of it in this thread!
