Harken Furler Ball Bearing Emergency

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
Ah, the "Harken Rain." That's right, what you experienced is so common that there is actually a term for it. Beware removing your traveler car for maintenance, unless it is the type with the captive bearings. Also damaged blocks, mast luff cars, or anything else with open races.
Oh, and be sure to apply one drop of One Drop to each race on your furler. Amazing stuff.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
