My new-to-me C28 seems to have a tempermental furling mechanism. Although it has blocks to align the line I use to pull the genny in or out, it tends to bunch up at the top and twice the line has worked its way out of the enclosure. I suspect one part of this might be the rope itself is a little dry and may not slide into a managable position easily, but never encountered this problem with other boats. Any ideas?

You need to keep a slight bit of tension

on the furling line as you unfurl the sail to avoid overrides on the furling line in the drum.
