Turns out, there is no real problem with the boat or way I rigged this sucker. It appears to be the thick UV protector on the jib that the previous owners may have had installed. It prevents the sail from furling around itself cleanly at the top. Because of this, it gets caught in the forestay. I have found that if I unfurl/furl it slowly and watch it carefully, it's fine. Will see if I can set where the jib connects further back on the plate to give it a bit more room. Otherwise, I'm taking scissors to this thing! :)
See how it furls? Wack. I know it's loose here but even when tight, same thing
