 The mailsail furls into the mast. It was the mainsheet that got tangled
 with the jib sheets.  You have a good point regarding the weather helm.
 So many things were happening that I don't recall the pressure on the
 wheel.
Is this your boat? I'm not a big fan of furling mains. Never sailed on one,
but it seems like you have to be pointed pretty close to head into the wind
to furl it.
