One more quick note about
furling the
jib - you can wrap the
furling line on a
winch to make it easier to pull in, but do not use a
winch handle. If the
jib is not
furling with just your own strength, there's probably something wrong forward at the drum. Try going more forward to pull on the
furling line, or check the drum for tangles. I've seen people blow their furling drums off by winching the
line.
