Would you rather him piss on the boat??

Great solution. However, the way the jib is connected to the stay at the upper part of the must is not clear. Could you explain please with more detail?

Interesting design. SV YOLO is a small trailer sailer. What is the largest boat anyone has tried this DIY YOLO furling system on? Would it work for 25, 30, 35 foot sailboats?

well done

Great system, simple and affective. 'The KISS method, who says yachting is expensive.

Hi guys, nice video. Design and idea is great, one thing I notice is that forestay needs to go of for sail to be taken out. That would be the only safety issue i would see, besides long screws.

I'm going to add a canoe to the fleet sooner or later.

Probably the best diy design ive seen. Only thing i would do is use shorter fastening screws to not risk them scoring the stay. Good job

Are you making sure not to screw through the forestay when you're putting all those screws through the pvc? If you make sure you don't go through the center you can miss the cable. You don't want to go through it or rub on it with your screws..

Only problem I see is the screw on the top of the spool ... if it comes in contact with the stay inside it could rub and fray the stay ... should have at least shortened the screw by grinding the point off of it.

Absolutely a great video that covers the whole process. Thank you very much. You guys are a hoot. Hopefully we’ll run into each other not literally someday lol in the wind 😎🤙🏼 Perry and Isabel Saint Augustine, Florida 18 foot Sanibel.

My gosh this is a much better video on making a roller furling , was hard to find a decent video on this , awesome instructions on making this , great job, thank you guys for sharing , thumbs up . 👍

Screws are too long. They can damage the stay as it all spins and the foot of the sail is held by just the pvc ?? What is the top attached to that allows the rotation?

I watched your video on the construction of your pvc roller furler. Being a retired shop teacher, I give you high marks on your presentation. In this video, I notice that the furler is still in operation. Could you please comment on any issues that you have encountered with the furler? What modifications, if any, would you suggest? Thanks for taking the time to make your videos.

great video

Sadly your sail is not on tension in this way

cool I didn't know there was an abounded campground there

Hello all, has anyone on here done this system & can answer the questions that i have posted here ? If anyone can, I thank you !

Hello, I posted 2 replies to your reply to my questions about your video but you must not have seen them in the reply section so i am making a new comment.I am sorry to be a pest but i am stuck in the middle of this project & am relying on your answers so please bear with me. I am wnting to know how many jib hanks are on your system & how long your mast is. my boat doesn't have jib hankz but rather a plastic luff with a slot in it that the luff tape slides through(the system went overboard ,long story) Also i asked about how the 2"cap attaches to the 4" cap at the bottom of the drum,not the top of the drum like you replied about. Also you don't show a hole in the bottom 2" cap or mention what size the hole is. Answers to these would help a bunch & thank you for replying !!

Sorry, one more question,how far apart did you space the hanks ?

Hello,excellent video,thank you ! 2 questions please, at 1:48 of the video what attachs the cap to the 4" cap ? Also, how do you lower the head sail when it is attached to the headstay with the hanks ? Thanks again & I'll be looking forward to hearing back from you !

Thank-you for sharing your work. Creative and resourceful.

Thank you for this

Great idea sir Works great too 👍

Great info great music great job very well done

Thanks for sharing this !! And well done !! 👍🏻😊 you got me thinking of doing this on my sailboat.😁

Hello from Florida. I just came across your video and was very intrigued. Your video is the most detailed of any home made furler video that I have seen, and would like to build one for my boat. But have a question. What happens to the jib halyard in the absence of a swivel when you furl and unfurl the jib. In your design it's connected to the head of the jib, so it will need to turn with the jib. Am I missing something?

I wonder if those 2" screws are abrading your headstay...

EXCELLENT! And....You can call those "shanks" "doo-hickey-majiggy-diggy-doo-dad-thingies" D:

very good you save us big money thank you very very much

Nice video of sailing Lake Lanier. Thank you for caring enough about the environment to pickup some slobs trash. I can't for the life of me, understand litterbugs. I know sometimes things get lose, but some people are sad. The amount of trash thrown out of cars right in front of my house is unbelievable. Thanks again. Uh' It may be time to think about a larger collar for Strawberry, just saying maybe not.

I love the innovation of this and appreciate you folks posting this. My only comment about improvement is for the woman to stop repeating the same things over and over. After a while it just gets annoying explaining such simple concepts repeatedly. Thanks

Does the top cap need a slot or could it just have a hole and slide up to top of forestay first?

Are you still using a jib halyard like normal ?

Hanks

That learning curve is something. My videos are horrible. Lol. It amazes me when I consider how much goes into a video from a top channel. One step at a time I guess. Anyway, hope you post more.... oh that lake looks amazing. Do you sail there allot? Gonna be checking that place out more. Might be worth trailering down to for a vacation.

Great video. I have a mac 22 and a balboa 26 so I love the videos of smaller boats. On small suggestion. When you hold your camera up and down in portrait it makes the video small especially on phones. Landscape works much better but just my opinion. Subbed

Ingenious!

Hello just subbed ya ☺ Best wishes

I absolutely love it. Thank you, Thank you
