[C320-list] Main Sail Mast Furler

[stepkap]

Hi David,
Thanks for the response. I assume you lift the boom using the topping lift.
Have you led the topping lift back to the cockpit?  
Steve

This is exactly the same behavior with our Selden In-Mast Furler.  We raise
the boom up a bit and the sail furls with ease.  We never use a winch to
furl.

and retract as easy as I think it should and as others do.  There apparently
desirable boom positioning required as others have reported here.  I also
found there is one correct way to hook on the foot and at least one wrong
way.  The wrong way makes for too large a wrap so have a look at that
especial as you mention this is a recent occurrence.
