Do members attach a furler to the bowsprit with a shackle or direct to the fitting on the bowsprit.

Yes, Aurora has an arrangement like that too. Foresail furls and unfurls very reliably like this. Glad you’re sorted, oak.zimp wrote:Zimp has an oversize 90deg shackle. It's oversized to prevent play.

I always look carefully at the way the sail is rolled, consider how the sheets lie and check which way the furling line is rolled on the drum. Then still rig the Genoa the wrong way around! It’s a 50/50 choice and I get it wrong way more than 50% of the time...oak wrote:Thanks for the picture.That is the same shackle that I have been using,I think my problem has been more with riding turns.
I put it all back together and then discovered it was wrapping the wrong way with the UV strip nicely tucked inside!
Its something to do with age
