HALYARD LEADS
The angle between the halyard and the forestay must be at least 10°. If the angle is less than 10°, the halyard may wrap around the luff extrusion when the sail is being furled, possibly damaging the halyard and the luff extrusion. Failure to observe what is happening in this situation may even result in damage to the forestay wire.
Before installing the Furlex on the boat, make sure that the 10–15° requirement is fulfilled. On new Seldén masts this is usually not an issue but on older masts – or masts of other brands – it may be necessary to fit halyard leads.
