[C320-list] Jib Furler Sticking

[Owen Mace]

On a different boat, I had a similar problem which was a spinnaker halyard
wound round the furler.  It twisted the forestay wire and I had to replace
the forestay.  I'm really careful now to ensure that the spinnaker halyard
is well clear of the top of the furler.

I am having trouble with my jib furler. While it unfurls without a problem, 
re-furling the jib is very hard. I thoroughly wash the drum after every sail

so I don’t think that that is the problem. Today after sailing I played with

it at the dock and noticed that the problem seems to be accompanied by a 
loud screeching sound from the top if the forestay. The sound is something 
like that of a Crow. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
