If it helps, there is nothing to stop you easing the halyard before you furl it if you find that easier. Friction in the jib sheet could be an issue worth checking. From your picture you are very likely to pull the bolt rope out of the bottom part of the foil. If you are not careful the foot is so slack it is being dragged aft by the jib sheet & is pulling the bolt rope aft. It may be that you also have the clew fitted on the wrong hole thus pulling the foot more than the leech. The jib can be hard to furl if there is a lot of slack in the rig allowing the forestay to sag off . This allows the foil to bend so it does not rotate so easily. You are probably aware that having a tight rig is essential on a Hanse. A slight pre bend in the mast may also help the baggy mainsail shape. |

Fully agree with you.
As per the mainsail halyard I replaced the spinlock cam last week as said in another thread and now I should have fixed that issue. As per the jib, it becomes absurdly tough to furl and unfurl it when I tension the halyard too hard. I should investigate that issue, I know. Perhaps there is something wrong with the top swivel. |

It would be faster if you put more tension on jib and main halyards.

Hi everybody,
I sell Jib medium, with oriented wires, like new 105% 31.5 square meters, roller blind with vertical slats, very performing, both with light and strong wind.

Hi everybody, i'm just back from my first trip with my new H345 : more than 600 NM around Corsica. I thougth that the boat would be slow, and i added a genoa to replace the self tacking (FCL sails) I have been surprised by the speed even in low winds. I think that this boat is interesting (although evidently not a racer !) with standard main, self tacking and genaker. The genoa is a compromise because you may use it as self tacking when furling a few turns, but it does not add much speed. I would not recommand the furling main, because you lose about 5 square meters, and above all the form of the sail is not good at all (i tried a H345 with furling main and decided noyt to buy one). I have the shallow keel. The cape is 45 to 50 degrees from the Wind (with the genoa, probably better with the self tacking), but there is almost no drift, except when you have a crossing current. |

You are right. I viewed the 345 in Sweden and talked to the owner. Decided in favor of another 34' boat yr 2010. She has usual main sail 60 sq m + genoa 62 sq m. Draft 1.82 m. Lively boat, so far quite happy
PS: the shallow keel with furling main still unsold.

Furling mains are for light air regions INMHO. The cloth must be thin so furling is easy and reduces the chance of binding or jamming. If you go off shore in strong breeze the sail be ruined. If the sail jams and you can neither get out to drop or in you could be in a very situation. So bad shape, light air sue only and a potential safety issue for the "convenience" of rolling up a main that can be dropped in to bag I don't get it.
Shoal draft means you can't point as well. Sounds to me that the 345 does not do what you want to do.

If you want to swap the mast for a classic one, the standing rigging won't probably be the same. The boom must be changes/modified as well to cope with (automatic) reef lines, then the deck hardware must be extended for reffing lines.
A lot of work and spendings to be done...

Is the mast on a furling main much heavier than a standard mast? Presumably if you use a different track system you can remove the torque rod etc to lighten the weight aloft. Would you be able to get fore & aft bend in the mast as with the standard mast to trim the mainsail. ( You cannot when used as a furling one I am told)
