Why Modern Masts Are DESIGNED To Jam (The In-Mast Furling Lie)

Описание: It is 3:00 AM. The wind just jumped to 40 knots. You push the "Furl" button to save your rig. You hear the winch whine, and then... crunch. The sail stops. It won't go in. It won't come out. And because it is trapped inside a metal tube, you can't even lower it.

You are now trapped on a 10-ton boat with a giant sail up in a hurricane—all because you paid extra for "convenience."

In this video, we expose the In-Mast Furling Lie. We break down the physics of why modern masts are DESIGNED to jam, and why the industry convinced you to trade the ultimate safety feature (Gravity) for a fragile gearbox that fights the laws of friction.

In this video: ⚙️ The "Vending Machine" Effect: Why a single tiny crease in the sail cloth turns your mast into a jam you cannot fix at sea. ⚠️ Fail-Safe vs. Fail-Deadly: Why slab reefing saves you when it breaks, while in-mast furling kills you when it breaks. 🐌 The Performance Tax: How the lack of horizontal battens turns your expensive yacht into a slow, heeling motorboat. 🚫 The Verdict: Why you should walk away from any boat with a slot in the mast—or budget $10,000 to replace the rig.

👇 The Verdict: Do you trust a plastic gearbox to save your life in a squall? Watch this before you buy a "Push Button" sailboat.
