SAIL FURLING ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In a sailing craft wherein a sail rolls up within a recess in the mast on a vertical wind-up member and is hauled out and retracted through a luff slot in the mast, the slot edges supporting the sail at various settings and wind pressures, there is provided means permitting ready interchange or removal of sails without removing the wind-up member. The wind-up mem- ber is preferably a two-part vertically disposed rod, held under adjustable tension, and provided with a longitudinal channel into which a bead on the luff of the sail may be threaded through an opening near the base of the mast. A two-part swivel surrounds and is slidable up and down the wind-up member, the upper part being attachable to a halyard for hoisting and lowering and hav- ing a portion engaging the mast so as to be held rotationally stationary, and the lower, rotatable with the wind-up member, part being attachable to the peak of the sail so that the sail may be hoisted and lowered by means of the halyard.
