[Alberg30] profurl nci32

[Dave Terrell]

I have some questions about what the Profurl NCI32 should look like when installation is complete. the bottom line is this: When I hoist the upper furler unit on the jib halyard, the jib shackle that attaches to the tang runs all the way up to the block for the headsail but falls short of going high enough to engage the tang because the tang is not long enough to engage the wrapstop. ( I do not think that this will be a problem because there is no halyard sticking out to wrap around the halyard anyway). Because of this, I will have to have a few inches cut off the sail because the luff is too long at present.

Here are my questions - is there a way to install the unit so that the tang does engage the wrapstop? Have others rebuilt the top of the mast so that the jib block is higher and engages the tang? Have I missed something or is my arrangement - using the original location for the jib block a "normal" result, given the assumptions I have made? Have others had this problem/experience? I ask these questions because it just does not seem right that the tang should not engage even though I do not think this will be a problem for the reason I mentioned.

My sail maker suggested I try using the spinaker halyard for this purpose because it was located higher, but the idea did not work.

Thanks in advance for any help. I will not see the sailmaker for sail modifications until sometime next week
