Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Reefing procedure
JOHN HAYES
Got left in the same when I brought mine in august last year Yep managed to jam the sails in a few times but not insolvable ....... lots of practice and make sure your heading into wind when you furl in You might also want to go over furler gear boxes and motors to make sure all in good shape. Not doing that cost me a newheadsail when the furler stopped in a 50 knot blow and I had not properly understood how to rig the back up manual system! A 1500 mile shake down cruise sorted out how to work the systems. Worth also taking the seawater engine cooling pump off the motor and checking the drive spline for wear as on the Perkins if you have one. Seems the pump requires more power than the spline provides and is subject to wear Best John Nga Waka
