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. SBV "Larry" wrote 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.... Larry -- Halloween candy sure has dropped in price, lately! |
