[quote=Edchris177]I honestly don’t know what you are doing....you don’t need a swivel block on the pigtail.
You NEED A SWIVEL ON THE FORESTAY....THE ENTIRE STAY TURNS.
Go back to my album, look at the 4th photo, & one a little further in, “Andrews's Roller Furling”.

Those show how it’s done.
The jib is zippered onto the forestay, with the halyard also coming down inside the zipper. The entire stay turns. It doesn’t matter how hard the wind is blowing, when you spin the stay, the jib rolls up!
The jib will never roll smoothly with the factory battens. They are horizontal, & stick out when furled. A sail maker removed mine, & sewed them in on the angle the sail furls at. (Forestay angle).
The factory battens will be too short, they need to be about twice as long. If you leave those two battens out, the jib vibrates.
Again, go through my album, it’s all there.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Oct 03, 2021 - 07:52 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
