Furl (sailing)
text:
Furling refers to stowing a sail into a neat package after it has been handed, but leaving it still fastened in the position from which it can be set. For a sail with a boom this usually means flaking the sail down over the boom and securing with sail ties (gaskets). The headsail of a sloop is often lashed to a guardrail or along a bowsprit. A square sail is furled by gathering it more closely to the yard than is achieved by the buntlines and clewlines and securing it to the yard with gaskets. W
