| does the sheet wrap up or the halyard wrap up? I have some thoughts if
the halyard wraps up, but I am not sure what you mean by the sheet
wrapping.

| 1362.2 | Isn't tension supposed to be kept on line? | ICHI::MCBRIDE | | Mon Oct 09 1989 10:30 | 7 |
| I was always under the impression that a certain amount of tension was
required on furlers that had a single control line. Ours had a wire
control line that would snarl badly if we just let the sail roll out
freely. I thought this was the normal procedure.

I have a Harken setup on my boat, they stress in the instructions
that you MUST keep tension on the furling line while unfurling.
They are right too, I wrapped the halyard around the stay a couple
of times(amoungst other things!) until I learned to do exactly as they
instruct.

| 1362.4 | Make friction | ISLNDS::BAHLIN | | Mon Oct 09 1989 15:46 | 11 |
| Here is a 'stolen' idea that worked for me with a similar problem
(are you there Dave?).
Use more fairleads than you need to for routing purposes. The extra
friction produced is just the ticket to slow the furling line down.
If This doesn't slow it enough use some west system to coat the
fairlead inner diameter. This reduces the diameter of the hole
to create a bit more friction. You don't want a tight fit as this
will cause problems on furling. What you want is a clearence fit
but not by much (experiment)

| 1362.5 | IT WORKS! | NYEM1::LEARY | FAIR DINKUM, SAIL TO OZ, MATE! | Tue Oct 17 1989 14:44 | 7 |
| Thanks for the ideas, especially .4 This works just fine. I also
removed about four turns of line from the drum to allow more space
on take-up.
thanks again

| 1362.6 | halyard wraps stay | NEVADA::PHILW | | Thu Jul 05 1990 20:35 | 10 |

We have a problem with the halyard wrapping around the stay. Whenever
we change headsails, the halyard will wrap around the stay as the
sail is hoisted. It seems that twist in the line is being 'pushed'
into a shorter length, causing the wrap. This has always been a
problem but has gotten progressivly worse over the last year. Before
we haul someone up the mast to look things over, what do we look
for?

What kind of line are you using as a halyard?

Re .7 Problem was solved by using the reply in .4
I have since put a Pro Furler on the yankee, and have installed a
HOOD Sto-Boom for the main.
I quess I got lazy in my old age regarding sail handling.
