@@Antipodean33 One argument is that they fail at the worst time. Hell, everything on a boat fails at the worst time. If a furler fails then strike the sail just like a hank-on.

Couple of tips for Facnor and sta-lok fittings. Use anti seize on thread prior to tightening wire terminal occasionally there will be galling of the stainless to stainless thread and it will literally weld together unable to be undone. No need for thread locker on that one it gets done up FT as plukka said. But do use screw thread lock on furler joining screws they will work loose and disappear. Good choice on Facnor I love the gear they build.

@markbailey6051 2 жыл бұрын
I had this problem of seizing and found it was caused by the sharp end of the wire cutting into the receptor, easy fix is to take the edge off of the end with sand paper, file or grind wheel so it does not bite but slides.

My ancient Rotostay furler has the track, or foil, which slides up and down. The whole track slides up the forestay, then you turn the furling drum to loosen or tighten the forestay. There are "D" sections sauged on the stay top bottom and centre, the stay has a big bearing at the top so the whole lot turns. Kinda weird, but it works. Although, I'm a bit jealous of your new kit!!

I never got your email asking for help! 😊 Well done and good choice on the extra halyard guide. See how you go with furling at normal halyard tension. If the angle is good that should work fine. If you find it catches the halyard (and tries to turn it) and jams at normal tension you can normally ease the halyard a touch to get furling again. And then take a fresh look at the angle adjustment.

Much more single handed sailing? Plucky the fun you have with your crew makes your videos much more entertaining. There is only so much spear fishing and beach barbequing you can do on your own before it gets samey. That said I have no idea for the reasoning behind the decision so we can only wait and see although I do have one observation...not one tongue in cheek comment about your engineering skills. You are slipping mate.

This is how you install Facnor furler. DON'T! But if you do, then you have to install a HALYARD LEAD, just like you did. Nice to see you did that. If not, the reflecting wheel gets wear from the helyard that makes grooves. Then you will experience that the grooves hooks on to the helyard and twist it around the forstay profile and jam it. Then a lot of sailors try to furle the sail with the winch. Result: forstay gets twisted the wrong way and brakes the wire cords slowly one by one or all in one big................! . Not fun! But plucky knows a thing or two when it comes to sailing.
