FURLING - REEFING TIPS (next):
 When unfurling, restrain the reefing line so that it doesn't jerk out of hand. Keep line under
control as you furl and mind that it does not overlap.
 When you reef, do not forget to move your genoa car to insure the right tension on the genoa
leach and foot and that the genoa sheet lead is correct.
 Check that the forestay is tight and clear of other halyards.
 Never slacken the genoa halyard when furling. Cleat the furling line and secure jib sheets when
you reach the desired reef.
 Do not force the reefing system if the reefing lines get blocked.
 It is recommended that you have a spare headsail on board. You can use an old genoa with a luff
tape to fit the FACNOR luff grove.
 When your sail is fully hoisted, the halyard swivel should be as close as possible to the top cap.
 Your FACNOR has been designed to work maintenance free for many years. However, we
recommend that you clean the furling system with fresh water once or twice a year.
