If you don't unload the sail enough, it can be quite challenging to roll in a furler by hand.  Mine has to be nearly flogging before I can roll it in by hand.

Thanks folks. I finally was able to get the winter cover off the boat, and inspect the furler. The bearings feel fine, but I am feeling/hearing a bit of friction between the furler's top plate, and the cage. I wonder if with a bit of load and deflection, that friction increases to the point of jamming the drum. On others systems, is there a gap between the cage and the top plate?
