I have a Head Foil on my forestay – twin grooves to handle two sails (put the new one up while the old one is up and then dump the old one). It fit pretty tightly on the forestay, but I guess it would spin if forced. No furling. The sails have rope luffs.
James, if your sails have hanks on them, then I have no idea what you have up there.

Every one I've seen spins. You're fine. Yours probably slides up and down a little too.

I don't have self furling, I do have rod rigging (probably original, will be thoroughly inspected before I put it under stress). I am guessing that the track that I have on the front stay is there because you can't hank directly onto the rod. My question is, how freely is that track supposed to swivel around the rod? Mine seems pretty still, and I would think that isn't a good thing for the rod when you change tacks and the track puts the extra rotational stress on the rod. Thanks for any input.
