[C320-list] In-Mast Furling sail stuck

[Brian Carol Mclamb]

When this happened to us we just slowly worked it in and then out again.  It took awhile to get all of it unwrapped as we slowly tugged on the sail.  Once it was fully deployed I re-tensioned the main halyard to remove the slack.  Good luck!  Brian s/v Serenity # 1075.

I made sure the boom lift is in proper position. I was able to tug on it enough for a couple of feet to furl out but now can't get it to move either way. thanks for any suggestions.
