ABSTRACT:
A spinnaker of the type collapsed edgewise both laterally and vertically to furl the sail in which the furling line is attached to the top of the sail and the connections of the guy lines to the boat are released to allow the sail to blow freely from the top of the mast as it is collapsed to furl the sail. This isolates the forces of the wind on the sail from the furling line.
