Difficulty Furling Genoa
I have a 36' S2 11.0 CC that I single-hand on occasion. I've been having extreme difficulty furling the genoa, even in modest winds (6-8 kn). I am forced to use the winch to get the sail in and furled, which just doesn't seem right. Is this normal? If not, any thoughts on the likely source of the problem and recommended solution?
