New mast , old boom. My boom is attached lower at the mast than its lowest position over the arch by at least 8 inches. This means my boom is at about 8 degree angle and not close to a right angle. Recommendations to prevent unfurling problems is a boom at 90 degrees, with 2% down for unfurling and 2% up for furling which is impossible for my H380.
At first I thought my Boom was mounted to the new mast too low. However I did a search on H380s and all the Selden Furling mast were set up the same way on other H380s. After the reconditioned sails were installed, I tried unfurling and it has not gone well.....
Thanks to YouTube videos on unfurling the Selden , I have managed to unstick it some by an alternate in and out motion...
Anyone else having such problems.
