Mark,We purchased a UPS for our Passage 42 at the last Miami show. Since there is frequently just the two of us aboard, we thought the roller furler was the best way to go. The sail works well once deployed but is a pain to take down so we hardly used it this year. When one tries to furl the sail using the roller furler, only about the bottom third actually rolls up, leaving a large portion of the asil flogging madly. the best I have been able to achieve still leaves about 10 feet of the leach at the top flapping about. This makes it necessary to take the sail down when we're daysailing and we turn around to come home, when we'd rather furl it and take it down back at the dock. I've replaced the line on the drum with a longer piece in the hope that this would work but it has not. This leads to the following questions.1. What am I doing wrong?2. Should I change it over to a sock and remove the furler?3. Is there a recommended procedure for furling the sail?4. How tight should I try to get the luff line? Thanks for your help.
