[C320-list] Slips at Greenport, LI, Jib line problem

[Andrew Santangelo]

Joe,

Yes I had this problem too. A few years ago with the same set-up.

I went with a larger line for the furler and adjust the block to feed  
from a lower angle.  That did the trick for us - and no trips to the  
bow to fix things with the furler.

Best Regards,
Andrew
