Mine doesn't. Well it does if you go up on the foredeck and crank the drum by hand but you can forget doing it from the cockpit. New bearings ( in fact a completely new drum assembly ) and the top swivel will almost spin in the breeze.
With no load on the sail you can just about haul in from the cockpit but the moment there's a shred of sail out and a breeze blowing on it it all stops.
I'm wondering if the backstays are too loose so the forestay is not tight enough.
Anyone got any tips on trying to sort it short of a £1500 cash injection?
