Joe, Yes — and it’s usually caused by letting the furler line go completely free when unfurling the sail. It should always be semi-taut when going in. Otherwise, bad wraps can happen.
Also, now that your sail is down, be sure to fully lubricate the upper and lower drums. Your halyard wrapping up at the top may also be the issue. If so, look into installing a halyard diverter at the top of the mast. All the best, Edd ———————————————- Edd M.

We hit about 7.2 with just 2/3s of a jib :) Heading back to the marina the wind was increasing and when we went to roll the sail up, it was not rolling :( We ended up dropping it and folding it up like it was the 1970s or something. THE HORROR!!!!!!!! Anyway, the line for the furler feels kind of old and crappy. Has anyone ever had the line jam itself inside the drum cover?
