I know that there are already existing threads on this subject but this may get overlooked.
I have installed a Ronstan furler on the staysail with the forestay guard.
Its seems very close to the forestay and when furling the clew with sheets tend to jam on the forestay.
the guard also seems to induce a slight angle in the forestay.
I have the forestay pretty tight.perhaps not tight enough?
do others who have this system have these fairly minor problems.everyone seems to have different stem arrangemnts
It struck me that if I could move the Ronstan back one or two inches that might solve all the problems.
I have put a picture in my album to illustate the point.
question .what type of fitting could I use to achieve this.?
all I can think of is a flat bar bolted to the single deck fitting,extending forward an inch or two, with another hole further back to take the Ronstan.the extension preventing the bar from pivoting
any advice,comments welcome
