Line sizes and low-friction rings

[snooks]

Snooks, have you had this problem? I guess two ways to solve it would be (a) to sheathe the larger LFR that carries the sheet in some rubber or leather cover, and/or to use a heavy-duty bungee to hold the thing down to the eye bolt when the genoa sheet wasn't pulling it upwards.

I would be grateful for all ideas!

I haven't had that problem, sorry to hear you have. Before furling, I usually pull the rings to the deck which just keeps the deck clear.

Obviously, with any flogging I'll be superquick to secure the rings from now on.
