Lift your boom up with the topping lift, So the end of the boom is in line with the clue on the sail. Lubricate the ball bearings in the mast with a dry lubricant every time you go sailing. You are right as it’s set up right now you’re pulling it down not out and that’s why it’s easier to pull out by hand. We had issues with ours when we first brought our boat. You have to use your topping lift with in mast furling at least on our boat we do.
I have had similar issues. The rod inside the mast on whivh the sail furls can be tensioned. The instruction manual explains how to do this and the slackness on yours may be part of the problem.
Hi thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately mine is the inmast furling plus early model which cannot be tensioned. If you watch my latest video I think it can now be sorted reasonably easily.
Are you able to try removing the sail from the boom traveller to give a better angle on the outhaul to prove a point. Also have you tried releasing sheet and kicker to allow the boom to lift up to the sail and give a better angle to pull the sail out.
I have now managed to get the boom the same height of the clew and this has made a difference if you watch my latest Video I try to explain the changes I need to make to make it work. Thank you for watching
Forgive my ignorance about in mast systems but I thought there was supposed to be a safety override so it can’t jam & get you in trouble. Have you got any instructions/ installation manual? I agree angle looks wrong putting tension in wrong area
Mine is a very old system which has no override on. Fortunately it furls in reasonably well. It is only coming out there is a problem both Kemp and other people say the angle is ok but I like you think it’s wrong. Basically my system is a furling pole similar to the one on your foresail that goes up inside a tube with no bearing or support at the top with a long narrow drum at the bottom to furl it in. The annoying thing is that Selden will not comment. Like your sneaky sail good to get out after work.
@@sailingsheriff3349 sorry so far behind, busy looking after my parents and getting the house I grew up in ready for auction, my parents moved to a purpose built house for elderly ( they are 92) across the road from me.
Selden finally got in touch and have sent some important suggestions on how to rectify faults. Plus two riggers have given me solutions to my problem explained in my recent video. Thank you for watching

@@sailingsheriff3349 thanks Roy, I’m SO far behind on editing as life & tech issues have other problems for me to solve first.
@@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar I noticed May? Looking forward to seeing your trip down South this year.
