Re: Mainsail jammed when furling on A54
Good point. I find that at about 10 years of good use, the sails are too baggy to furl well in the mast. Time to restitch, or replace.

This setup proved a 2:1 purchase for the outhaul. Probably necessary given the massive mainsail. I don’t think the winch system used on the smaller boats would work
