[C320-list] Mainsail Furling Problem Troubleshooting Guide

Thought I would share a helpful quote from this troubleshooting guide:


"Fumbling through the use of this [furling] system with little or no knowledge of these issues will only solidify any of your wife's pre-existing notions of you."

Last weekend I attended a rigging seminar at Torresen Marine in Muskegon and 
received a very helpful handout about troubleshooting/fixing mainsail furling 
problems.   I created a Pdf file and sent it directly to Martin, who made a 
query to the group earlier today.  I tried to send an attachment to this list 
serve/email group, but it got bounced back.   If you would like a copy, you can 
contact me directly and I'll send you a Pdf file.  Email me at:

The author of the attachment is John Schumacher, the rigging specialist at 
Torresen Marine.  Very knowledgable guy.  


We have had trouble with our furling unit, so this year I am taking my main to a 
loft for a "tummy tuck" and I will also be replacing the outhaul furling line.  
Keeping my fingers crossed.
