As I restepped my mast, I found that not one, but both of the guide rods on the top of the roller furler were bent like pretzels. I am somewhat mystified as to what would create that amount of force at the top of the genoa. I cannot recall any mishaps where the unfurling and furling of the genoa went poorly or I had difficulty. Has anyone else experienced this or have an idea as to what might have caused this? Obviously wish to avoid this in the future!
