Re: I think you may not have ENOUGH angle from the swivel to the lead on the halyard... true...

It worked fine when I had a splice on the halyard and a snap shackle... it doesn't work now that the halyard is tied right to the furler... so before I start installing devices to deflect the halyard, I will first try a shackle... and maybe even a splice, but I will keep these other devices in mind should the problem not be so easily resolved.

It is nice to know that there are a wide variety of potential solutions out there... One way or another, I will "beat" this little problem. GRIN
