I'm hearing that you tried to furl from 2/3 rolled out? If so, most likely scenario (barring some sort of halyard wrap) was that your furling line was loosely wrapped in the drum as soon as you unfurled then tightened up as you sailed with the furling line cleated. What probably happened is you

Re: Stus-List furling fail annoyance on a warm day

Yes on my last sail ! 1st time ever and I really took the time when unfurling to be sure it didn’t wrap. Well it sure did some how Stuck I was able to finally get it free with pressure on the line close to the drum I use regatta braid and it may be getting little old? John Conklin S/V

Re: Stus-List furling fail annoyance on a warm day

Yes I have. Happened when i had the 135 furled to 115 in about 20 kt apparent wind speed. Lots of tension on that 5/16 inch line inside the drum where most of the line was not wound that tight on the drum as the sail was unfurled in lighter air On Sat, Jan 11, 2020 at 6:11 PM Joe Della Barba via

Re: Stus-List furling fail annoyance on a warm day

Hey. I still sail like it’s the 1970s :) On my 1972 boat. The Admiral keeps bugging me to get a furler, but I like being able to hot-swap headsails in the middle of a race. Especially since I’ve torn headsails about a half-dozen times in the heat of the battle. Or just because conditions

Re: Stus-List furling fail annoyance on a warm day

Whatever else I do, I'll start with a new furling line and then check the halyard angle. Frequently in Maryland there are more good sailing days in January and February than March and April. Sometimes it is nasty cold and rainy from March into around the first week of May when you go to bed

I struggled with jamming under various conditions on mine, and found the following issues affected things, and when I pay attention to them, jams are much less frequent. These may be obvious to you, but they weren't to me... :) 1. Halyard tension - too tight makes it difficult to furl, and too

Re: Stus-List furling fail annoyance on a warm day

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

Stus-List furling fail annoyance on a warm day

Today was a GREAT day for sailing, 20+ from the south so we had flat water and great wind. 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
