Angle of halyard to furler needs to be 10degrres ,otherwise it will wrap if it is closer to parallel,hard learned lesson

Is there a reference for stainless steel becoming brittle without oxygen? It seems that would mean the interior would be brittle, and only the outer layer would be ductile.

Curious if the surveyor is SAMS accredited. He loses a lot of credibility with his recommendations on roller furling. I hope he provided better guidance on "replace now" vs. "replace soon" vs. "replace later". With so much deferred maintenance, it's not practical to assume the new owner is going to replace everything at once. Might as well buy a new boat….

A quick note regarding the mainsail cars and hanks; usually cars will remain fine provided that they are lubricated regularly. As for the hanks here, they are typical 80's garbage. Many boat manufacturers during the 80's had a love fest with polymers and used such products all over the boat to save on expense and weight. One of the key areas you will find this with are the sea cocks. Even some high end manufacturers used sea cocks made from polymers because they wear slower and are not prone to electrolysis. The downside is that once age sets in, the plastic dries out and becomes brittle. This is the point when failure begins to set in and can become quite dangerous especially if a seacock fails and it cannot be closed. Change sea cocks over to bronze and as for the mainsail hanks, I replace all of mine with WICHARD stainless. They are expensive but then again, failure is NOT an option on the open sea.
Wishing you smooth sailing and wind to your back…….

at 11:30 The roller furler is fine. No one on board could operate it properly. What went wrong per surveyor: "It wrapped around up there." I wonder if that made it into his report?
