Anyone having problems with their main jamming? I have a 2005 54DS that constantly jams when unfurling.

I had a bit of trouble with a furling 43DS mainsail initially until I remembered to:
- keep the outhaul tight while furling in
- loosen the boom vang so the sail rests on the topping lift line
I have not had a problem since I started adhering to those 2 rules. I have furled while running downwind, under heavy load in a storm, while motoring into the wind, with the boom on the port or starboard side and nothing has caused any problems as long as I released vang pressure and keep the outhaul tight (which I have trouble doing since I singlehand)
