19 Checklist
Go through the checklist below and make sure that all the important instructions have been carried
out. This will ensure that the Furlex-system functions safely and reliably under all conditions.
Check that the angle between the halyard and forestay is 5–10° when the
sail is hoisted.
Check that the clearance between the halyard swivel and the top guard is
not less than 50 mm.
Do all the sails used have the maximum luff length or an extension
pendant?
Check that
no
halyard can get caught in the halyard swivel or wrapped
around the luff extrusion.
Check that the line guide eye does not deflect the furling line too much,
as this can cause extra friction and wear.
Check that the free turn is functioning, i.e. the tack swivel is turned in the
right direction. Some load on the sheet should cause the luff section to
rotate one revolution before the tack rotates.
Check that the line guide fitting does not contact the line drum flanges.
Check that the Furlex stay articulates freely at the upper and lower
attachment.
Check that all the split pins are secured.
