Hi- Does anyone know how to install a furling mainsail on a Beneteau 331? I tried installing it yesterday to no avail. I had so much problem trying to get the mainsail to go thru the groove that guides it up the mast. Please help! Thanks. Warren

Reinstalling soon

Are you re installing or installing for the first time. I will be reinstalling this week. I expect to simply reverse the procedure I went thru last fall - remove small access panel at base of furler - attach sail to furler head - raise head while feeding sail into track - use Sailkote if needed to make sail slide better - once all up connect webbing loop at base of sail to shackle on furler tube. Should be straight forward - much like installing a furling jib except for a bit more difficult access. I hope your message does not imply that I am in for a nasty surprise.
