Roller furling difficult - any ideas, please?

[Tranona]

It does not have any identification that I can find.
Doesn't the rig tension go through the luff of the sail and not involve the foil?

Could you post a photo as somebody may be able to identify it.. Does the halyard come down the mast or back down to the drum?

On a 22ft'r ?? Probably wrong - but being an older boat and in the modest size bracket - I doubt its a Furlex ...

Need a photo of the drum in general - then we can identify as T says ...

Make sure that you are getting halyard wrap at the top. This can wreck your forestay. It is common for the halyard to go through a diverted attached to the mast to keep it cleat of the forestay for this reason.

NOT getting halyard wrap, as in its a bad thing, I assume.
Maybe obvious, but just in case...

THINK mines a Plastimo, on a similar size boat. (Trident 24) according to a PO.

He also said they dont need any maintenance, though, so perhaps I may not be keeping it long...

It's a Rotostay F5 and the halyard comes to the drum.

Rotostay furlers should have plastic covered forestay wire. If yours is plain 1 x 19 stainless, then it will bind up. It's hard to get the plastic covered wire these days, but a plastic pneumatic hose sleeve makes a good substitute.

This is the one, thank you! The fact that the phone number doesn't have the 1 after the initial 0 shows how old it is.
