I puzzled over this for 2 seasons, and experimented with ineffective solutions until I f inally, seriously, cleaned and lubricated the head swivel while catching up on maintenance stuff. I did not connect this with the wrapping at all as It had always seemed to turn very freely however it turns out it was binding under heavy load. I had checked it but could not replicate without the sail set so I could never actually see the cause. It was Dangerous at times and just a real hassle other times. After cleaning and lubricating the swivel, it spins even more freely, a noticeable difference once you have a comparison. Hasn’t jammed or wrapped since. Dave 33-2 Sent from my iPhone
