You also need to keep some tension on the furling line when you ease out the jibb / genoa and keep some tension when furling in the headsail. I also noticed that you are towing the dinghy, that will slow you down a little by adding drag on the boat. That's ok if you are not travelling far but you should either roll it up on deck or put on a pair of davits that will give you another spot for another solar panel and to store the dinghy from. Look around your marina and you will see what i mean. I have been ill on and off for a while so i will try to get my intro done this week. Gerard.

@@SvGemstar thank you for the advice, yep seems your right was told the same thing when Ian came on board and helped me fix the issue with the furler, we have read placed the blocks as well so should work ok now. Hope you feel better and let me know when the intro goes up 🤜👍
