Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

Not sure how I missed the fairly large words "Sun Shield" all these weeks, but it's there, only on one side. So, I guess that's that. Ran the line back through the deck-mounted fairlead. Works...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

Thanks, L-E. The UV thing never would've occurred to me. Is there an easy way of determining if only one side is protected? e.g. Is one side shinier than the other? I don't recall seeing anything...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

Amazing how sometimes the obvious can escape a person. I believe that in order to get better alignment on the starboard side, all I need to do is unfurl the jib and drum line, then refurl the jib in...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

I was still getting a few unwanted jams because the line was always spooling towards the top of the drum, so I always had my eyes peeled and mind opened for parts that might do a better job. The...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

I'm very resourceful, great at trouble-shooting, and very good at jury-rigging things in ways most people wouldn't think of, and that most would consider to be permanent fixes. Love tinkering and...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

I took apart the roller furling drum and still didn't see any markings. I found that the squeaking noise is more like a grind-squeak that's coming from the metal-on-metal beneath that intersection...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

mrm, I completely agree that the line's angle to the drum is not ideal, and that it needs to be pulled or pushed down by something to create better alignment for spooling. I've already thought of...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

Here's a good shot of the current angle going from the nylon fairlead to the drum. The line is favoring starting in the middle, mainly due to where it must feed into one of the drum holes to be...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

Lake_Effect, in an effort to reduce jams, I furled the jib, then unspooled a few turns of line to reduce the amount on the drum. It seemed to work much better, but now I don't have much left on the...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

I had a lot of ideas and I looked at some other boats and noticed one kind of similar to my setup, but its extension arm may not rotate the way mine does. Refer to pics. I also fully realize that...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

Are you saying that the arm might need to be secured (such as with a piece of 10-gauge wire that attaches to a nearby railing :smile: ) to prevent it from binding? I do get what you're saying, and I...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

Uncivilized, you might be able to make out a spring-loaded block a bit port and centered aft of the roller furling in pics 1 and 4. I had thought of running the line through there because I thought...

Re: Cal 22 roller furling problem

Here are some videosnaps of the disconnected roller furling with that wire. Might provide a different view to help in figuring out what's going on. In order to make the line guide better through...

Cal 22 roller furling problem

I have a 1988 Cal 22 with a roller furling that has no markings and a setup that doesn't seem correct. Everyone I've asked at the boatyard (sailors, techs and old salts) don't really agree on what's...
