I recently rigged up my Hunter 34 with a spinnaker and it's boatloads of fun. One issue is that the spinnaker halyard tends to get wrapped around the headstay right at the top when the jib is furled or unfurled causing the furler to become jammed. This happens when the spinnaker is not in use but usually after it has been in use. The block is external hung on a ring above the headstay attachment point. I've only used the spinny a couple of times and this has happened a couple of times so I can see it is going to be a problem. What is the proper way to prevent this?
