Tech/Engineering / yachnting; rigging equipment
French term or phrase: bosse enrouleur
Appears in a list of yacht parts. Seems to be associated with the roller reefing system (? maybe), but not clear if it is mainsail or jib.

But what is the 'bosse' part --- any ideas?

Thanks, Kiccacap! Turned out to be just that, though I was initially mistrustful of that reference, as it is a pretty dodgy translation itself!

Explanation:
bosse can mean a "stop" in a nautical context, so could be some adjustable stop on something like the rigging.

OLF's Grand Dictionnaire has some useful nautical-related definitions for bosse(weblink below).
