Re: Roller furler keeps wrapping around forestay

The halyard and the forestay have to be not parallel. I think a 5 degree difference is all that is necessary to keep them from wrapping around each other. The halyard should run below where the forestay attaches; this can be done with a little extra hardware for the halyard. By all means, do not rely on the furler without a forestay.
