Trying to firm up the luff on the genoa on my newly acquired Fulmar. Winch it nice and tight, let the halyard off the winch and it slips back thru the clutch. Same on the main halyad. This leaves me with a saggy main and genoa luff. Is it the clutch or the rope? The halyards slip back to a "happy" point and always stops there, not slipping any further but I cannot tighten the blighters. Is there a way of checking whether it is the clutch "teeth" or a worn rope? The halyards look OK but....
