      I have fitted a furling system on the genoa (I’ve never had one before, what a game changer! ) however, the previous system of hanks on the forestay held the Luff nice and straight. Having taken the hanks off to facilitate the furler, the luff is a tad curved/sloppy.

      Before I go ahead and make adjustments this Saturday, what have others done about this? (if anything at all).

      Do I release the tension on the forestay to force the genoa uphaul to take more (and thus straighten out a bit)?

      Do I replace the wire in the genoa for a thicker guage?

      Do I leave as is and stop being paranoid about a slightly curvy luff? 🙂

      I am not racing, this is purely for cruising/recreational sailing.

      Thanks 🙂
