I am havinga problem getting the front edge of my 1995 Hoodjib furling sail to line up right. The front edge ofmy UK tape drive seem to settle in atabout 45* angle to the helm which is ok for running and broad reach but notwhen I heading up wind.  Ican walk forward and twist the furling tube aft to line up nicely but as soonas I let go it will fall back to the same position.  When sailing up wind I tighten the sheet to about an inch or so offthe spreader (depending on the wind)  butI think I could point a few degree higher if I can work out this problems. Anyideas ?  I have played with my furling line locking it off in different settings but that didn't seen to help.  
Thanks John Holokai 2
PS: Itlooks like the very top of the jib seem to line up OK and then the sail twistoff as you follow it further down the tubes.
