If the UV strip on the sail is on the outside when furled then the line is loaded the right way.

It will depend, will it not, on which side of your headsail the sacrificial strip is sewn?

That's how my Rotostay furler is set up. As per the instructions.

If the sacrificial strip is on the port side of the leech then yes that is correct.

Your photo shows two furlers, one selden and one rotostay. Most furlers furl anti-clockwise viewed from above. Some rotostays furl clockwise viewed from above. Load the line up so that when you pull it the drum turns in the direction of the reef arrow on the furler. Photo looks as if you have got both furlers set correctly.
The Rotostay is different because of the way the foil is attached to the drum.

Thanks, this is the information I was looking for , my staysail has no uv sacrificial strip . I was more concerned with Rotostays reference to loading direction
Thanks i see now the loading is correct. It was one of those, I think its correct but ile ask the audience moments.

If you have no uv strip you will need a new sail fairly soon. Make sure they fit a up strip on the new sail.
