Halyard Restrainer

Has anyone ever installed a Harken Halyard Restrainer to prevent jamming of the roller furler? If so, would this be considered class legal?

Here are links to the Harken Halyard Restrainer and the installation pdf file to see how it is attached and used.

I found that the backstay needs to be loose to furl and unfurl the jib or the drum does not turn easily. I have not had problems with the top furler jamming.

Are you catching the halyard and twisting it during the furl?
