[C320-list] Roller Furling Stuck

[Bruce]

That might be it, the spinnaker halyard  was secured to the starbhard side so there might  e a tangle up there.

Could the spinnaker halyard have wrapped around the jib halyard where it meets the roller at the head of the sail? I have done that when I've attached the spinnaker halyard  on the bow pulpit and then furled. I now keep the spinnaker halyard attached to the starboard life line so that the halyard is close to the spreaders. No problems since. Just a thought.

Sorry that was "Re-rolled the jib and counter wrapped it with the spinnaker halyard..."

We hid our boat up in Baltimore for the storm, we chose the Anchorage Marina, a great marina with protected floating docks. We stripped dodger, bimini and mainsail. When I loosened the jib halyard and tried to pull the jib down it wouldn't budge. I counter re-rolled the sail tightly and counter wrapped it with the spinnaker halyard, luckily she suffered no harm. What could possibly be holding the sail up? Anyone experience this?
 
Thanks,
Bruce.
