I own a 2005 Hunter 33 with an in mast furling....
I was able to open/ pull out my sail today and then when finished sailing furl it without out any issues.... I noticed that I furled it a bit further than usual and when I tried to pull the outhaul to adjust it; the mainsail nor the outhaul would move. A few sailors at my marina helped me eventually get the sail opened in my slip, but we noticed that the wind opened the sail more than puling it out with the outhaul... It was suggested to me to "lube/grease up the track and all the pulleys. There was no consensus on what type of lube to use. Can anyone make a good recommendation and which type of store to find it... eg LOwes, Home Depot or West Marine.
Thank you
