aardvarkash10 1,105 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 A viable alternative for light loads, or plastic rubbish that you would regret? Definition of light load - 10m keeler, headsail furler line including tensioning (but not trimming) in partial furl , light air spinnaker sheet and guy. Cruising, not racing, mostly two-handed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 484 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Would do it, but really on a furling line of that size you should be doing it by hand or there is something wrong 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once the genoa was full it was near impossible to reef controllably by hand on the furler - we resorted to the empty sheet winch. Thanks for the feedback - really appreciated.😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cantab 341 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I put a ratchet block on my furling line, much easier to handle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
