The crew identifies excessive jib halyard tension as the primary cause for the furler jamming and the repeated snapping of halyard lines.3:14 After smoothing sharp edges on the furling drum with a Dremel tool, they replace the damaged halyard with a spare line and adjust the tension to a lower setting to ensure smooth operation.3:26 Following the repair, the crew prepares for a 130-nautical-mile overnight passage to San Carlos for a scheduled haul-out.8:19 Preparations include meal prepping handheld foods like blueberry waffles and tuna pasta salad to minimize cooking during the estimated 26-to-30-hour transit.9:22 The crew spends their final days in Loreto National Park paddleboarding around the coves of Isla Carmen.6:27 Proper jib halyard tension is critical for the function of a Facknor furler, as excessive tension can cause mechanical binding and line failure.
