I am having trouble figuring out how to rig the jib sheet on my Nacra Infusion. I special ordered a roller furling forestay and jib. I solo sail a lot and want to be able to easily furl the jib while sailing if the wind comes up. The factory has not been able to give me a layout that works. I guess roller furling has gone away as a standard item. Please let me know if you have figured out how to rig a roller furling jib with a midpole snuffer. A picture or diagram would be a big help. Thanks.

do you have a fully battened jib as per the standard sails? that might not like being furled!

I have a smaller non-standard jib that is not fully battened.

There is a single block on the clew of the jib and a single block with a becket on the self tacking traveller.
Where the thin line attaches to the becket, don't tie it - use a quick release shackle/clip.
To furl, undo this clip and it will run up to the block on the clew and give enough sheet to furl.
Hope this makes sense.
