True, in that photo, the leech of the jib does not look so hot. But we can also see that they failed to adjust the sheet lead when they furled in the genoa. It's still where it was for the full genny, much too far aft for the reduced sail.

They should ordinarily move those leads forward as the clew shifts forward. But that sail is also reefed beyond the usual limits of most furling headsails (usually 20-30%), anyway.

As for the roller furling main... well, I can't help you there.
