I went sailing today.....Wind was about 12 - 15 and puffy with the lulls down to 8. I sailed full rig. The only trouble I had was when it came to furling the spinnaker. It seemed to have a mind of its own. In the calms it furled properly, but when it was heavy it seemed the top would over twist and get open and the foot was rolling tighter than normal...resulting in considerable flapping and some choice skipper words about the builder (the skipper).

I have a Harken furler and swivel. The furler line is set up 1 to 2. I tried heading into the wind, but that did not help. I tried slow and I tried slight tension.

I would appreciate any thoughts?
