Thanks again for time trouble producing great explanations/visuals on sailing.I've been interested in downsizing to a 34ft Hunter with in-mast.Your graphics and clear description of the in-mast system are the best I've seen.Keep up your excellent work.I'm a fan and subscriber. Rick,76 yrs Seattle.

Wow!!! Seriously impressive video and great explanation. Very user friendly.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thanks brother, much appreciated

[@magicman9486]

Thanks for the video. Helps me to understand the system and how to avoid fouling it up. If it does not exist i would be tempted to install some sort of restrictor to prevent the lines from ever being fully slack. In my mind this should "HELP" prevent the lines from getting tangled inside the mast.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thanks for the awesome feedback... that could help, the only issue we found was the foot hook getting stuck to furl in

[@kathanquan]

Love your videos! Haven't learned how to sail but definitely will with all the knowledge from your videos

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

I was one of the first persons on the West Coast that had a in-mast furled main sail..It took me a while, to master it and it was a process..I would rather have a furled main on the boom..Its easier and fool proof.. If your furler (on the mast) jams---you are in trouble..On the boom,--- all you have to do is drop it..

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thanks for watching and sharing... we chartered in Turkey and had multiple jams over two weeks. Luckily in mild conditions and flat seas.

I love the content. You're really onto something here. I'd love to see posts more frequently, but I'm sure the 3D modeling takes a lot of man hours.

I am thinking about getting a sailboat. Have not decided on monohull or catamaran. However, lots of seasoned monohulls out there that are still in good shape and easier on a working guy's budget. If this mast system gets jammed is it a hard mess to fix?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Sorry for the late reply, not sure how I missed this one... I can only comment on personal experience, while chartering in Turkey we had to take a hammer to it, as it jammed so bad at one stage. Nothing we could not sort out, but it would have been a different story if we needed to do this in rough conditions, up at the mast and in a hurry to reef

Is that 12mm Endura Euro on a Jib Sheet? You mad man! lol just kidding with you. Awesome Videos!

I like new updated visuals. Can I ask which 3D software do you use?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Hi mate, thanks for the awesome comments... I use Blender 3D, it's free :) www.blender.org

[@sloanbooks]

Can you please tell me which mast manufacturer makes these furling systems? I prefer this system to the Seldon endless line system.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

wow, too many to mention... speak to a rigging specialist to get recommendations on which systems best suit the vessel... thanks for watching

[@yru435]

What are we doing with the halyard for the mainsail??

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

the sail feeds into the tube and is hoisted with the halyard, which is then cleated off and not used till the sail needs to be taken off for whatever reason. Mostly cleated at the mast and forgotten, thanks for watching

[@gregfawcett5152]

Mine is very hard to roll in or out...any suggestions?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

That's the downside to in-mast furling. When we chartered in Turkey we basically had to hit the furling hook with a hammer to get the first turn in. It should however, be easy enough to unfurl by hand. Your lines might not be running in an efficient angle and causing too much tension somewhere

[@gregfawcett5152]

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 I don't think that is the issue...what about needing a new bearing at the top of the mast?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

@@gregfawcett5152 I'm guessing you will have to check out each component, and last resort, bring in the professionals
