Shape of Speed
My slip neighbor bought a used Benny ( 34 ? ) with in mast
furling. The PO complained that it never worked right. My
buddy discovered that it was wound wrong inside the mast.
After he redid it, it worked fine.

I remember the "best trim" we had on a brand new Beneteau
out in Charleston
Harbor. The main got stuck furled in the mast and the new
owner tried to
"outhaul it" to straighten it out in the little slot. The
boom car on its
little track popped off and little roller balls flew off
in all
directions....
We never did get the main unfurled. Beneteau took the
mast apart to get it
free and put a new car on the track....with new balls
because the old ones
flew overboard. Sure glad we weren't way offshore....
