Default A Call To Arms (or, getting the heck out of Dodge, revisited)

Regarding the roller furler -- in every installation I've seen, with the
jib/genny completely unfurled, there are still several winds around the
furler drum, making it very unlikely that the stopper knot would ever
"pull through" even if it were to untie itself. Nevertheless, I would like
to see at least half an inch of tail on that stopper.


That's another thing to note in the picture.

I've seem several accidental unfurls on other boats. It really makes a mess
when it happens at the dock in a strong wind.
