I used my 100 in 7 knots of wind for the test. My sheets on this sail are old 7/16” yacht braid (I think) which are not as slippery as my newer softer lines on my racing 3DL. Since I’ve increased the sheeting angle on the higher drum I really didn’t expect what is happening. But the suggestion that the higher friction is not allowing the line to walk up the winch seems to make sense. The entry angle on my B18’s was closer to 0 degrees and only presented an issue if I had more than 3 wraps pre loaded before tacking. Our method was two wraps until the Genoa crossed the deck and slack was taken up, add the third wrap, grind in first gear then trim to final in second gear. Possibly this all may just be learning a new technique.
