[C320-list] In Boom Furling

[pkenefick]

Orlando

As embarrassed as I might be please help me with some explanation - we have 
C320, Hull #833 with in mast furling. I have noticed at times it is very 
difficult to pull in the main,until it begins to roll and then it is fine - 
could be the 87 degree factor.
We purchased the boat used and I have no instructions on the furler and this 
is the first I have heard anyone talk about this degree factor - can you 
asssit me here so I better understand, After you have raised the main do you 
leave the boom at 87 ?
MacLube the bolt rope ?
Thank you
