Arrangement (1) for a sail (2) for a sailing boat (3) which exhibits preferably asymmetrical form and is so arranged as to be capable of being furled with the help of a roller, and there is a line (5) extending between the sail (2) and the roller, and the aforementioned roller is so arranged as to be capable of being caused to rotate, in conjunction with which the line (5) is so arranged as to be wound onto the roller. The aforementioned line (5) is attached to the sail (2) in such a way as to draw it together in the vertical sense (H) when the roller is caused to rotate in one direction. The sail (2) is so arranged as to be furled with the help of the aforementioned roller after drawing together the sail (2), and the furling is so arranged as to be effected around a rotatable leading edge (9) arranged between the roller (4) and the mast (8) only once the draw line (5) has been tensioned sufficiently. Furling of the sail (2) thus takes place automatically if a continuous pull is applied to the control line and when the draw line (5) is fully extended.
