[THOMAS POLISE]

I was having troubles till I realized I had thanksgiving mainsheet pulled tight when I was trying to furl. Make sure mainsheet is loose and boom level.

Rinse inside the mast with a hose to try and clean the bearings (the  donuts on the furler that turn inside the mast). Silicone spray. NOT WD40.
