I have a 355 with a 110 jib on a Hood 810 below deck furler refitted to a single line.
I find that I have to tension the furler line to get it to stack, & it just barely makes it before it binds. Only about 8' of core is pulled out, 7/16 line

Anyone have experience with a larger genoa & a single line 810? How did you make it work? Without moving it up above deck & replacing the drum... which may be just wishful thinking.

A larger sail, say a 135, & smaller line, 3/8" seems just wrong.

My first try will be to replace the line & pull more core out, one I get the drum loose.

A friend has a Legend 35 with the below deck furler and needs the plans/specs for the single line refit. Do you know of a source?

I'm afraid I don't. It took me a while to figure out what my furler is since everything describers the 810 as a 2-line furler.
I have heard it is no longer offered from Hood.
