[C320-list] Furling Woes

[Joe Geiger]

This is our first season with our 2000 C320 and also the first boat I’ve owned with a roller furling headsail. 

My boat has the Schaeffer 2100 and I find it very difficult to furl it without having any of the sail showing. I’ve tried furling upwind, downwind, on a beam reach but I have only once been able to furl it where The sacrificial fabric covers the entire length of the furled sail. Ironically I did this by myself on the mooring. 

My wife has kept tension on the jibsheet when we furl and we got pretty close but there was still a bit of white showing.

Any recommendations on the best way to furl and not show any white from the sail?
