As Joe said, if the sail is at the right height, there will be no issues. I have a restrainer as my jib luff is about 10 inches too small, and I like to adjust where the jib sits on the forestay depending on if I’m racing (low) or cruising (high, with more visibility).

You need the sail at the right height to not get wraps. If the sail is too low there are a couple of easy fixes.

Harken furler, I replaced a broken Hood furler the previous owner had, no evidence there's ever been a restrainer on the mast.

So I am considering removing the restrainer. This is surely to some extent rig specific, but I am wondering 1. how many people have them and how many don’t 2. If without, have you had halyard wrap problems?
