Roller Reefing

 Who thought roller reefing or more accurately roller furling only started about 100 years ago with Wykham-Martin?


 Presumably the wooden sails have quite a lot of windage anyway even with the cloth sails furled, so maybe they were set during light winds, like an early sort of Code Zero.
