Hi Dennis, The restrainer may be in my future. Right now I have a pemanent pendant at the head of my sail that positions the furler swivel correctly. Do you recommend any certain brand, or size?

I think Harken recommends a minimum divergence angle between forestay and halyard of 7 degrees. If you have a Harken furler, please consider a halyard restrainer to create that divergence. My buddy and I have installed several in the past few years to the extreme delight of the boatowners. Poof! Halyard wrap problem gone! We install a restrainer on EVERY Harken furler we install.

Jib halyard is wrapping around headstay because angle between mast and and halyard is too shallow See installation instructions regarding optimal halyard angle. It may be necessary to mount a halyard restrainer on front of your mast to hold halyard to rear. Jib halyard is wrapping around the headstay because halyard swivel is too low. See installation instructions regarding optimal halyard swivel height. A wire pendant may be needed at head of sail to raise halyard swivel to proper height. Jib halyard is too tight. Ease jib halyard. Foils riding on turnbuckle. Raise foils. See adjusting turnbuckle on Page 24. Foils too high, binding on swage eye. Lower foils until clear. See adjusting turnbuckle on Page 24. Spare halyard is wrapping in sail as it furls. Secure spare halyards away from furling headstay by flipping them behind spreaders Salt or dirt in bearings. Flush bearings with freshwater and lubricate with dry spray lubricant such as McLube ® Furling line tangled in drum. Overrides are best prevented by using a 7402 ratchet block as the last furling line lead to maintain proper drag on line while unfurling. Stop knot catching. Make sure knot is a single overhand and is pushed up inside drum. Sail full of wind. Luff completely before furling or reefing. Sail flogging too much. Release a short length of sheet, pull some furling line and repeat. Jib sheets are not free. Free jib sheets. Foil out of drum assembly. Reinstall foil in drum assembly and tighten clamp screws. No wraps of furling line on drum. Remove sheets. Rotate stay wrapping as much furling line on drum as possible. Lineguard assembly has slipped down. Tighten line guard assembly screws securely. Line through 7402 ratchet backwards. Rerun line. Halyard swivel installed upside down. Remount swivel correctly. Sail will not unfurl or will not unfurl completely.
