Re: Main Furler - Sail stuck / jammed
The trick I have found is to make sure there is plenty of outhaul tension. It needs to be tightly rolled in and out, always keeping the outhaul as tight as possible. Keeping a really good eye on it even when it is calm. I have also found that there needs to be loads of downward tension on the leech. On my 54 I use kicker tension in addition to sheet and track to keep that leech tension tight. If for a moment I do not pay close attention then a jam ensues. Ironically the stronger the wind the less likely a jam. Maybe it is the concentration of the mind rather than anything else. Nick Amelia Amel54 -019 Leros Gr
