[C320-list] Furling Woes

[Chris Burti]

Be sure you’re leech lines are loosened and your halyard is tight. If you can, move your jib lead block all the way forward, it helps if there is bit more downward angle to the sheet and put a little more tension on the jib sheet, a fair amount of pressure is required.

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.
