In mast Furling

[Guest]

I bought my boat last year (A seamaster 925) and the previous owner had fitted in mast furling to the main sail.

Of course no instructions came with the boat on maintanace or set up of the furling, and I am about to dismantle it to service the sails and lubricate anything that needs it.

Can anyone tell me where I might find some information for setting up, using and maintaining the system?

Also I never seemed to be able to set the shape of the sail correctly when using it, it just didn't look natural, Am I doing someting obviously wrong or over looking something?

Regards

Sails for in-mast furling can't be the same shape as a real sail or they wouldn't furl properly . . .

More weight aloft, more to go wrong, don't quite understand it myself . . .
