Hi folks
Does anybody have difficulty with Genoa / Yankee sheets running free through Spinlock 8-10mm Cam Cleats?
I obtained new Spinlocks and second hand (10mm) sheets from Bob when I bought my refurbished boat but the lazy sheet did not run through free on tacking.
I replaced the sheets with new 10mm Marlow Doublebraid from local chandler, but this does not run free either.
When tacking I furiously have to pull the sheet through the Spinlock in order to be able to sheet it back in.
I am sure the sheets are 10mm under tension but the free ends seem to fatten up loafing in the cockpit!
I don't really want to go down to 8mm or change the cleats. Does anyone know of a better rope other than Dyneema that holds its shape / runs free ?
