[quote=dennisMe]The line thickness can be real thin if you set it up for 1:2 purchase.
I have this and it works really well.
I run a thin 3mm line on the drum and slipped a tough little bullet block onto it. The end is tied to my bridle tang, but could ideally go somewhere near the furler drum.
The block is attached to a nice thick line for plenty of grip, and that is cleated through a cam cleat on the main beam, where the thin furler line would have gone.
Theoretically this makes me pull twice as hard, but the max grip on the thick line more than makes up for it. Besides I can furl fast in a lull and this makes it easier to furl the whole sail in one pull, with less chance of a pocket forming up the furled leach.
Hope this is of some help!
Dennis
