  If the top of your sail is pulling out of the Harken Boating Equipment foil above the feeder, it's likely that the halyard has yanked the luff tape out of the foil. To fix this, remove the feeder to re-feed the luff tape. You might also want to drill a hole in the foil just above the feeder to help with re-feeding in case of future pull-outs.

  If the foil is difficult to start onto the stay of your Harken Boating Equipment, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the foil might be stiff from the cold; try heating it to improve its flexibility. Second, there might be too much friction from the stay; check the diameter of the stay against the specifications.

  If the trim cap of your Harken Boating Equipment does not fit, it might be due to incorrect alignment. Place the cap on the foil with the split side on the groove side and the large hole on the starboard side. Alternatively, the hole might be drilled incorrectly; examine the hole and ream it out so it fits properly.

  If the bottom of the luff tape pulls out of the plastic foil on your Harken Boating Equipment, it's probably because the luff tape is cut too short. Install a longer luff tape so it protrudes 6" (15cm) below the feeder.

  If the top of the luff tape pulls out of the plastic foil on your Harken Boating Equipment, the halyard might be angled too far aft. Change the location of the halyard sheave so the halyard is parallel to the stay.
