[Rhodes22-list] Hello Again!, I have my Rhodes! Questions

[Wally Buck]

Ahoy Davd.

Regarding furler problem. You mention you have UPP; was this a typo for UPS? 
If so I am guessing you have a second halyard for UPS (sail). Look up when 
you try to furl and see if the UPS halyard is wrapping around head sail. 
Just a thought .....

>Hello all, my name is David Dallas.  I have been a lurker on this site

>1./  I have the CDI FF2 furler.  During my sail, I was unable to let out

>2./  My boat came with the Kenyon Express 23000 stove.  I read somewhere
>(can’t remember where) there was a recall on these?  Does anyone know
>about this?  If I need/want to change stoves what are your
