[Rhodes22-list] Help with jib

[Clay]

Went down to my boat today with one helper and my repaired sail. Dropped the
mast with the boat in the water using the GB hoist. Very kewl. The sail went
on with no problems. Raised the mast. From start to finish 1.5 hours. What a
beautiful design. I love my boat. Might have to change her name to Blue
Love.

Clay:

It will help on the reinstallation to (1) be in a large flat area
such as a parking lot or flat lawn, and (2) have a helper.  Spread sail out
and keep sliding edge taut while installing in groove.

Anne,

The jib is off. Four screws on top, four on the bottom and one in the
center. I can tell putting it back on will be a little harder. Thanks agin.
