While on the topic of furlers, I noticed a couple times last summer that we had 
difficulty unfurling the sail.  My best guess is that the wire rope thimble 
holding the snap shackle onto the halyard was banging into something up top.  
I’m replacing the wire-to-rope halyards with all rope for this year, and my 
line supplier said if I’m using a furler (Harken in my case) I don’t need a 
snap shackle on the halyard.  All I need is an eye splice because the furler 
already has a snap shackle for the halyard.  Does anyone have this arrangement 
(just an eye splice at the end of the halyard)?

 

Please advise.  Thanks.

 

Matt
