Yo nunca destensaré el stay para enrollar un génova. Destensando, provocas más fricciones y posibilidades de roce, y de enganchar el stay en cualquier endidura del enrollador (y romper alguna de las 2 cosas...)
Sobre el enrollador de Camaron, posiblemente sea un Facnor, parecido a este:
Por otro lado si dices que el tambor esta jodido (muchas veces se gripan, y otras es que con un exceso de engrase se llenan de polvo, y una vez que vas a desenrollar la vela tras unos meses sin hacerlo, no va...) pero no entiendo lo de solucionarlo con un grillete.
Te copio de la web de Facnor, para que los demas aprendan como van, son todos primos hermanos, de todas las marcas (y lo que no entiendo es como sois capaces de navegar en un barco, sin saber como funciona, que son sus piezas, etc...):

Section connections
The furling sections are joined together by means of a 50 cm (1.50ft) long inner connector and four stainless steel screws. All sections and connectors are predrilled counter-sunk and tapped for easy installation.
The screws come specially coated to insulate them from corrosion and prevent loosening. Two split nylon bushings are fitted around the forestay and inserted into each end of each connection. This keeps the forestay centred in the furling section and insulated from corrosion.

Telescopic system
The overall length of the furling system is adjusted by means of a telescopic section. Fitting time is therefore considerably reduced as no measuring or cutting is required.

Turnbuckle kit
No cutting of the forestay required. Our systems allow room for the large turnbuckles within the furling drum assembly.
