FYI, a related issue may be how close your upper furler assembly is to the top of the forestay. I was having all kinds of halyard wrapping problems and considered installing a halyard restrainer. As an interim step, I added a long D shackle between the tack of the sail and the drum fitting (deck level), which raised the sail about 2 inches. This was sufficient to resolve my problem without adding a restrainer.

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?
