[Rhodes22-list] Furled sails at dock

[John Lock]

Hi folks,

I've been reading up on the in-mast furling system used in 
conjunction with a jib furler for sail storage on the Rhodes.  I read 
somewhere that there may be a concern for the rigging with all that 
weight aloft for long periods in heavy winds, especially since the 
mainsail weight is carried much higher on the mast than boom furling.

Do y'all have any thoughts on whether there may be increased wear or 
other factors when all the sails are furled in this way?

Cheers!
