Re: Yacht Delivery
Any idea what brand the furling system was?
I'd think the system myst be in need of servicing or adjustment... maybe some realignment? It can't have been operating as per design or they'd never be able to sell them.

Sorry Mate.... no idea... just accepted it was a heap of crap and left it at that... but then I am from the 'Dark Age' so one confirmation of my suspicion of anything modern was enough.... lmao
Apparently it was serviced last year with new bits added...
