Rob, My guess
is that you tried to furl with the jib sheeted in. You have to let the sheets almost totally free to furl the sail. Never use a winch to furl! You will ripe the forestay off the boat, or load up the swag fitting beyond thier capabilities.Head up into the wind until it luffs or let the jib sheets free until the sail luffs then retrieve 2 or 3 feet of the furler line at a time making sure to pull when the sail luffs.The other thought is, is your rigging tight? If the forestay and back stay are loose, there is a big sag in the foil making it difficult to furl.r.w.landau
