Genoa difficult to hoist

7/ OPTIONAL EXTRAS

7.1 - HALYARD DIVERTERS
When the genoa is furled or unfurled, if the angle between the halyard and the forestay is too tight, the halyard risks being twisted round as
the halyard swivel turns.
2 options are available to solve this problem:
7.1.1 : Halyard diverter wheel
To install the diverter wheel, it is necessary to dismantle the forestay
7.1.2 : Halyard feeder
To install the halyard feeder, it is not necessary to dismantle the forestay
2 sizes are available:
- ref 25677 : 609 et 811 models
- ref 26140 : 406 model
CAUSES
- Forestay not taut enough
- Genoa halyard too slack
- Genoa too short, halyard swivel too low
- Genoa halyard too close to the forestay
- Halyard is worn and thus twists in the
direction of the rope strands
- Wrong angle on reefing line.
First sheave too far from drum unit.
- Genoa unfurled too quickly
- Poor output from a sheave.
Halyard jammed
- Luffrope too large
- 15 -
SOLUTIONS
- tighten the backstay
- tauten the genoa halyard
- Use a strop
- Fasten a halyard feeder to the mast or a
diverter to the forestay
- Change the halyard
- Change position of first sheave
- Slow down the unfurling of the genoa by
winding the reefing line once round a winch.
- Try with a different halyard
- Change luffrope
