In strong winds, when I'm trying to sail with a reefed genoa, my Hood LD roller furling slips and unfurls -- at the worst possible moment! The Hood LD roller furling provided with earlier C34s is susceptible to slippage.

The unit uses a continuos line; in order to maintain a reefed position, the line must be tightly secured against a cleat positioned aft of the port winch. Potential reasons for slippage include: worn teeth in the furler drum, a worn line, inadequate tension on the furler line -- or bad design. Take your pick (). Although my new boat will have a conventional drum furler, I was very pleased with the Hood Line Drive furler, and would have bought another had not the new boat (a C400) been already equipped.

The Line Drive gear has been much maligned, mostly (in my opinion) because people haven't taken the time to learn to use it properly (Norm Bernstein) My experience with slippage has been too wide an adjustment of the furling drum teeth or installation with a line less than 7/16 inch diameter or a badly worn line. As for failing at the worst possible moment--right on! My splice frayed and jammed the drum with the sail half in at dusk, surrounded by thunderstorms, in a crab pot minefield!
