Genoa difficult to hoist - Poor output from a sheave.
Halyard jammed
- Luffrope too large
- Try with a different halyard
- Change luffrope
PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED
CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Halyard turns with the halyard swivel
- Forestay not taut enough
- Genoa halyard too slack
- Genoa too short, halyard swivel too low
- tighten the backstay
- tauten the genoa halyard
- Use a strop
- Genoa halyard too close to the forestay - Fasten a halyard feeder to the mast or a
diverter to the forestay
The halyard tends to wrap itself around the
spar when the genoa is hoisted
- Halyard is worn and thus twists in the
direction of the rope strands
- Change the halyard
Reefing line fouls
- Wrong angle on reefing line.
First sheave too far from drum unit.
- Genoa unfurled too quickly
- Change position of first sheave
- Slow down the unfurling of the genoa by
winding the reefing line once round a winch.
7/ OPTIONAL EXTRAS
7.1 - HALYARD DIVERTERS
When the genoa is furled or unfurled, if the angle between the halyard and the forestay is too tight, the halyard risks being twisted round as
the halyard swivel turns.
2 options are available to solve this problem:
7.1.1 : Halyard diverter wheel
To install the diverter wheel, it is necessary to dismantle the forestay
7.1.2 : Halyard feeder
To install the halyard feeder, it is not necessary to dismantle the forestay
