What I discovered was the overall position of the halyard and top swivel was 
critical. Assuming you have a full hoist sail and no retainer, you need to 
adjust the shackle length at deck level to get the halyard as far up as you can 
without running the nicropress into the sheave. Too high and it chews up the 
halyard and sheave and/or you can’t get correct tension, too low and it wraps.
