A RopeLuff is a Dacron tube built along the front of the sail to help it roll evenly at all stages of the furling process. Enclosed within the Dacron tube are lengths of polypropylene line instead of foam. The RopeLuff lasts longer than foam, resists mildew and won't compress under load.

Most importantly, the RopeLuff dramatically improves sail shape when partially furled allowing for better pointing ability and general performance of your boat. The RopeLuff option is available on our 4800, 3200 and 4500 series Roller Furling headsails.
