[Rhodes22-list] attaching genoa to tube? - old style

[ASNOOCH at aol.com]

Bob,
 Weather willing this weekend, I may be able to get those pics for  you.. The 
fresh water footpump is the Whale.... I placed it underneath my sink,  with 
the pedal sticking out from the cabinet... the sink is located in a corner,  
and the pump is located in that corner, therefore it is not as source of  
tripping....
  The furler I will give away is rather straight and is one piece. It  is 
required of course to be very straight... with a nylon "bearing" at each end.  
Your head stay runs through it's center. I will attempt to show in the  
photos.... the furling line that runs to the cockpit. If you plan a trip to the  
island, I would try to take you out if you wish to demonstrate just how  functional 
that original design is.. and how easy it's operation is, once  properly set 
up. I may have a spare bow pulpit available...

Burt..

thanks for the reply.. appreciate any and all input an  the genoa
attachment....

re freshwater foot pump... juatr wondering  which pump? I was lookling at a
Whale footpump, but due to its size have  not figured yet how it could go
in...

...and other mods, be  interested to hear.

we can talk further about the furler.... mine's  actually three joined pieces
(one long and two short ends)and was pretty  bent up....  straightened up
pretty good but have not tried it  yet.     not a bad drive from Bethlehem on
a nice day.   (i actually grew up in NJ (Livingston), but believe it or not
have never  been out on Long Island, cept for one nite at anchor at Port Jeff
on an  overnite sail from stamford on a buddy's boat.

(you wouldn't happen to  have an extra sternrail laying around?)

Thanks again..
