Our mainsheet fine tuner does not work to well.
It can be pulled on but it will not feed out even in winds over 20 knots
We have adjusted the cleat angle and fitted slightly thinner rope but nothing is working
Any suggestions.
I don't have this problem, it pulls easily and feeds out nicely, so this sounds strange. Could it be that there is too much chafing on the rope or that the rope has been threaded in a wrong way through the blocks? Not really too many variables here, either, so this is a bit mysterious. Have you tested to see if the blocks actually "backtrack" or if they are somehow "locked", ticking only one way?
Anyone else have this issue that could comment?

Hello Margie, got this response from Andreas on "Kaarstua", which might help:
Mainsheet fine tuning:
Just a control question: are you sure the ratchet function of the Harken block is disengaged? On my block there is a ratchet function that is engaged/disengaged by unscrewing a cover on the block. Good luck and best regards from elan 310 NOR 14784 "Kaarstua".
