[C38] Roller Furler Stuck

[Steve Smolinske]

Hello All, 

I took my 130 in and had it made into a 120 something to salvage the sail after a nasty little tear at the spreaders and not to mention the leach was shot anyway from years of UV exposure (no UV strip on the sail).  They replaced the grommet at the head with a loop of strapping.  Tonight I was unable to get more than two or three turns on the drum when trying to roll in the sail.  If I get a chance this week Im going to run up my 150 that has a grommet to see if the culprit is the loop, but I thought I would run the question by the group to see if anyone has had a similar experience.  I have just ordered a new main and 135 (Alden I went with the custom axis laminates) I have what I believe is the original hood roller furler I believe its an 800 something. So before they get to far on the new sails I'd love any input.  Thanks.
